Senator Ken Cuccinelli's bill SB 1431 passed the Senate Transportation Committee this evening.
Vote count: 8-6. Update had not been registered in the legislative database as the committee hearing ended sometime after 6 PM.
Keep pressuring your representatives to support these bills as they move to the House and Senate floors.
We've got to keep going!
About 10 anti-REAL ID activists showed for the Senate Transportation Committee, and it was a bear.
Thanks for calling, writing and visiting your legislators!
Be sure to thank those delegates who voted in favor of HB 1587, even if they're not your representatives.
The names of those who voted in favor of SB 1431 will be posted as soon as the legislative database posts that information.
