Special sessions of the General Assembly often deal mostly with budget items. However, this session, which reconvened on August 18, has over 300 bills filed! The reconvened session enters its second week and the House is meeting virtually to conduct business while the Senate is reconvening in person but social distancing and wearing masks.
An update from Wednesday morning's (8/26/2020) action from David Bailey about workman's compensation due to COVID-19 illness can be found in the two bills listed below. David Bailey works for David Bailey Associates, which is a full-service public relations, government affairs, and lobbying firm located immediately adjacent to the state capitol in Richmond. For 25 years, David Bailey Associates has developed and maintained effective working relationships with legislators and executive branch elected and appointed officials on all sides of the political spectrum.
School board employees were added to Delegate Jones HB 5028 and the bill reported from committee on August 26 on a vote of 18-4. It now goes to Appropriations to find the necessary funding (https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?202+ful+HB5028+hil).
Senator Saslaw’s SB5066 is expected to be amended to include school board employees (https://lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?202+sum+SB5066).
