April 30, 2013
The 2013 General Assembly session concluded this month. Our final votes were in the middle of the night during the April Veto session. During the first week of April, the full Senate met in Richmond to consider the Governor's action on bills.
Legislative Update February 11, 2013
February 11, 2013
It is unlikely that the 2013 General Assembly will have a week more eventful than last week. Votes on the amended budget, the debate on transportation funding and our crossover session were all-consuming.
Legislative Update February 4, 2013
February 04, 2013
Last week, the Senate acted on major proposals, including the amended budget and the Governor’s proposed transportation plan. The Senate Finance Committee worked through the weekend to prepare for final presentations by the Finance subcommittees and on Sunday afternoon, the full Finance Committee met to vote.
Legislative Update January 28, 2013
January 28, 2013
The Senate is less than two weeks from the deadline to vote on all Senate bills and report them to the House. Countless bills and resolutions have passed thus far and the Finance committees continue to work hard on the budget.
Legislative Update January 21, 2013
January 21, 2013
This year is the short 45-day Senate session. However, we still anticipate that several thousand bills and budget amendments will be introduced. It requires caution, efficiency and near around-the-clock work to keep up.
