The Carpenter Family sang the National Anthem and “Beulah Land” to begin this morning’s House of Delegates session.
After this, the House issued citations honoring the 2010 varsity cheerleaders from Clay-Battelle High School for winning the Class A championship and the Wayne County 4-H Air Rifle Team for its championship at the state tournament.
The House reconsidered House Bill 2935 to correct an issue with a previous title amendment. After making corrections, the House passed the bill, which would repeal an outdated article of election code relating to voting systems.
Additionally, nine bills were read for a second time and advanced to third reading on tomorrow’s House calendar. One of those bills is House Bill 2533, which would require the identities of signatories to a certificate for a person seeking ballot access to be made public and verified.
Three bills were read for a first time and advanced to second reading on tomorrow’s House calendar, and 28 bills were introduced and referred to the appropriate committees for further consideration. One of those bills was House Bill 3135, which would decrease the student to teacher ratio in kindergarten through sixth grades.
