Throughout the week, lawmakers have amended and passed six Senate bills that were vetoed by the Governor due to technical errors.
The bills, which have been passed by both the House of Delegates and the State Senate, now go back to the Governor for his consideration. These bills include:
Senate Bill 239, allowing majority vote for certain metro government approval; Senate Bill 414, creating Governor’s Office of Health Enhancement and Lifestyle Planning; Senate Bill 528, relating to certain fees collected by county clerks; Senate Bill 501, prohibiting animal gas chamber euthanasia; Senate Bill 695, relating to payment for certain state employees’ unused sick leave; and, Senate Bill 715, establishing Chesapeake Bay Restoration Initiative
During a brief meeting this morning, the House made available the Budget Bill Conference Report.
The House will reconvene tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.
