The Senate passed Senate Bill 1008, which realigns the composition of the state’s Congressional Districts, during an evening floor session.
After much debate, the body narrowly defeated an amendment that would have unified the Eastern Panhandle into one Congressional District.
The Senate will reconvene at 7 p.m.
UPDATE
The Senate has passed House Bill 106, which is the House of Delegates’ bill realigning House districts. The bill now heads to the Governor to be signed into law.
The Senate will reconvene shortly after 9 p.m.
