During its Feb. 19 session, the Senate advanced and approved several House bills grouped on the uncontested calendar and agreed to a block of memorial and commending resolutions.
Key outcomes recorded by the clerk included:
- Uncontested House bills (pages 4–5, including HB799 through HB1180) advanced and passed in a block with the clerk recording Ayes 39, Noes 0.
- House Bill 167 (eliminating a recordation tax exemption related to certain Confederate organizations) passed (recorded Ayes 21, Noes 17 as announced on the floor for that item).
- House Bill 341 (disposable bag tax distribution to towns) passed with the clerk recording Ayes 22, Noes 16.
- House Bill 550 (admissions and sales/use tax adjustments dedicated to tourism promotion) passed with the clerk recording Ayes 24, Noes 14.
The Senate also agreed to a block of memorial resolutions honoring multiple Virginians, including a resolution recognizing the life and contributions of Gladys May West. SJR 106 was taken out of the block to be considered separately later in the week.
Most of these bills were presented as items that had gone through committee and were described on the floor as consistent with versions considered in prior sessions. The clerk recorded the roll calls and announced tallies as each bill came up for final passage.
The Senate recessed and later adjourned after completing the day's calendar.
