Privileges and Elections Committee adopts SJR 209 to confirm Spanberger parole-board appointees

The Privileges and Elections Committee adopted Senate Joint Resolution 209, approving the Spanberger administration’s appointments to the parole board.

The committee’s chair called the meeting to order, introduced a single agenda item described as a senate joint resolution relating to parole-board appointments, and asked for a motion to adopt. A motion was made and seconded; committee members then proceeded to a roll-call vote. The clerk called the roll and the transcript records explicit “Aye” responses from 17 members; the clerk then announced that “The resolution is adopted,” which the chair confirmed. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.

The item was initially misstated by number (recorded as SJR 205) and was corrected in session to Senate Joint Resolution 209 before the vote. The transcript does not contain names for the member who moved or seconded beyond the recorded short responses (“So moved,” “Second”) and attributes the calls and announcements to the committee chair and clerk. The vote tally in this account reflects explicit “Aye” responses captured verbatim in the transcript; several members listed in the roll-call portion of the record did not have their vote transcripted as an explicit “Aye” and therefore are not counted here.

No further debate, public comment, or amendments were recorded in the transcript. After the vote the chair said the resolution had been adopted, the committee noted that there was no other business on the agenda, and members moved to adjourn.

The action taken was the formal adoption of SJR 209 to confirm the Spanberger administration’s appointees to the parole board as recorded in the committee’s transcript.
