Cumulative list of GA2008 bills of interest

"Roy's Big List o' Bills"

That whimpering noise that you may have heard the other night was the sound of hundreds of pieces of would-be legislation dying . . .

We've passed Crossover, the date after which the House can only work on bills that originated in the Senate, and the Senate can only work on House bills.

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, there were 1,441 bills originated in the House, of which only 616 (42%) went to the Senate. Likewise, there were 683 bills from the Senate, of which 433 (63%) survived.

This is a list of all the bills that have been mentioned in my previous reports (and some others that have caught my eye), and their present status. Each bill number is followed by a short summary and then where it is in the process.

AMD. means that a bill has been amended;
SUB. means that it is a substitute, completely rewritten.
Committee names are generally abbreviated:
CofJ=Courts of Justice, E&H=Education and Health, LG=Local Government

As always, further details on each of these bills are available at the Legislative Information Services website:
http://leg1.state.va.us/
I urge you to check out bills in which you're interested.

There are over 200 bills listed below . . . and there are a whole lot more that are not listed, which will nonetheless affect your life in the future. PAY ATTENTION! Remember, as statedby a New York court many years ago:
"No man's life, liberty, or property
are safe while the Legislature is in session."

---------------------------------------------------------

Most of this information is a mere update, with few changes; where there are amendments or substitutes, they generally have little effect. One exception is HB1171, Cosgrove: Alcoholic mixed beverages; grounds for suspension or revocation of license if lewd conduct allowed.

The substitute version of this bill is quite different from the original. You may wish to read details below.
