Today, the House adopted seven resolutions. One, House Resolution 18, commemorated the passing of a former member of the House, James T. Nicol. Nicol gave twenty years of distinguished service to his country as a soldier with the Air Force and went on to serve as a member of the House of Delegates from 1993-1994. His family accepted the resolution on his behalf today on the floor.
Two other bills on third reading on the House Special Calendarwere passed and sent to the Senate for consideration. In addition, five bills on first reading were advanced to second reading.
The House introduced 18 new bills.

Another House bill introduced, House Bill 4483, would prohibit certain sex offenders from loitering within one thousand feet of a school or child care facility, school bus stop or other child safety zone.
