Although this Voting Record does not reflect all elements considered by a lawmaker when voting or represent a complete profile of a legislator, it can be a guide in evaluating your legislator’s attitude toward small business. Note that many issues that affect small business are addressed in committees and never make it to a floor vote in the House or Senate.

  • THE LEGISLATIVE LINE the Legislative Update from VPAR Number 1 January 20, 2020
    VIRGINIA PENINSULA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® THE LEGISLATIVE LINE The Legislative Update from VPAR Number 1 January 20, 2020 The 2020 Session of the General Assembly of Virginia convened on Wednesday, January 8th. This “long,” 60-day Session sees a new Democrat majority in the House of Delegates (55 Democrats to 445 Republicans), a new Democrat majority in the Senate (21 Democrats to 19 Republicans) and a Democrat Administration…the first time since 1994 that both Chambers and the Executive Branch are led by the same party. New majorities bring new leadership, and for the first time in Virginia’s history, the House of Delegates is led by a female, and the first time that the House has been led by a member of the Jewish faith. Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn assumed the gavel, assisted by another first: the first female Clerk of the House of Delegates, Suzette Denslow. Leadership in both bodies is dominated by Northern Virginia legislators, as are committee chair positions, but Hampton Roads is fortunate to have some dominant members in leadership as well, particularly in the Senate: Sen. Louise Lucas, Portsmouth President Pro Tempore Chairwoman, Senate Committee on Education & Health Sen. Mamie Locke, Hampton Senate Democratic Caucus Chair Chairwoman, Senate Committee on Rules Sen. Tommy Norment, James City Senate Republican Minority Leader Del. Cliff Hayes, Chesapeake Chairman, House Committee on Communications, Technology & Innovation Del. Jeion Ward, Hampton Chairwoman, House Committee on Labor & Commerce Del. Joe Lindsey Chairman, House Committee on Privileges & Elections Sen. Lynwood Lewis Chairman, Senate Committee on Local Government We should note, too, that Del.

State Corporation Commission, Ex Parte: Temporary Suspension of Tariff Requirements Case No. PUR-2020-00048 Dear Commissioner Christie: We greatly appreciate the State Corporation Commission’s continued efforts to protect Virginia consumers during the economic crisis caused by the Coronavirus pandemic (“COVID- 19”). Please accept this informatory letter in response to issues and questions raised in the Commission’s May 26 Order in the referenced docket. In its Order, the Commission asserted that the current moratorium on utility service disconnections for nonpayment “is not sustainable” and could result in costs being “unfairly shifted to other customers.” The Order also suggested that this moratorium could have “negative impacts on small, less-capitalized utilities and member-owned electric cooperatives,” which “could impact vital services to all customers of such utilities.” The Commission requested comment regarding whether the current moratorium should be continued, and if so, for how long.

  • No Amendments to SJ306
    No Amendments to SJ306 At-A-Glance Status Update Senate Legislation: HJ615 (Cole), which included requirements for localities with district-based SJ306 (Barker) elections to establish bipartisan redistricting commissions, was conformed to SJ306 (Barker), which has no local requirement, by a vote of 11-0 with one abstention. However, SJ306 may still be conformed to the House’s adopted Latest House Action: version of HJ615. February 11: Subcommittee recommended conforming to HJ615 (as adopted by the House on February 4) Impact: Adds localities to redistricting requirement Upcoming House Action: February 15: Vote by Privileges and Elections Cities and Towns Potentially Impacted: 25 Areas of Concern • Introduction of partisanship into local A subcommittee for House Privileges and Elections has recommended elections conforming SJ306 to include, among other items, the local redistricting • Potential conflict with commission requirement.
