The House Appropriations Transportation and Public Safety Subcommittee on Feb. 14 advanced several bills to the next stage while tabling one measure over fiscal concerns.
House Bill 193, sponsored by Delegate McQuinn, was described in committee as a measure that "allows an individual to be eligible for parole, if they were sentenced by a jury." An unidentified member moved to report the bill, which passed on a roll call vote of 5 to 2. The subcommittee did not take public testimony during the session; members noted today’s work was limited to fiscal actions.
The panel unanimously reported House Bill 200, described as modifying a section of the code related to the Transit Ridership Incentive Program and deleting language from that section. Committee members voted 7 to 0 to report the measure.
House Bill 308, from Delegate Hope, was considered with an amendment that members adopted by voice. Committee discussion described the bill as providing "more comprehensive structure for licensing and enforcement." The subcommittee reported HB308 as amended by a 7 to 0 vote.
Members also reported House Bill 934 with a substitute. The bill, from Delegate Simon, was described as authorizing distillers' licensees to sell spirits at retail for on-premise consumption; the transcript records that the substitute was adopted and the bill reported out of subcommittee (vote totals were not specified in the transcript).
House Bill 980, from Delegate Garrett, which the transcript describes as directing the Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority to establish a voluntary no-buy program, was the only bill tabled. A member moved to table HB980 "due to the fiscal impact," and the motion to table carried 5 to 2.
Finally, House Bill 1231, identified as updating the allocation for the Commonwealth Aviation Fund and attributed to Delaney, was reported by the subcommittee on a 7 to 0 vote.
Votes at a glance: HB193 (report out 5–2), HB200 (reported 7–0), HB308 (reported as amended 7–0), HB934 (reported with substitute; tally not specified), HB980 (tabled 5–2), HB1231 (reported 7–0).
