Hey I thought the below piece would be an excellent addition to the blog on virginia.gov. If you feel it is the right fit, please feel free to publish it. Do let me know if you need anymore information. Please copy in our expert Ieva (ieva@oliolusso.com) in your reply. Carrier oils contain a range of beneficial components including vitamins, minerals, nutrients, antioxidants and other fat-soluble vitamins. They can be used for a variety of different reasons and can help with hydration, collagen production, skin tone, soothing irritated skin and repairing sun damage. The type of carrier oil you choose will depend on what your desired outcome is. Knowing which carrier oil to use for your skin type can be a daunting prospect. That’s why the health & wellness team at Loxa Beauty have done the hard work for you. They’ve completed an extensive review of the 15 most common carrier oils and how they can benefit your skin. Anastasia Filipenko, a health & wellness psychologist & dermatologist states that “Carrier oils are one of the main ingredients used in facial cleansers, exfoliators, balms, lotions, serums and face oils. When you use the right carrier oil for your particular skin tone you can expect to see amazing results.” Commonly used carrier oils include coconut oil, jojoba oil, rosehip oil and sweet almond oil. Each oil has different benefits for your skin so it’s important to do your research before you start using a new oil. For example Coconut oil is great for stimulating collagen production and healing wounds whilst Jojoba oil can help to balance out excessive oil production, giving you a more even skin tone. Anastasia recommends finding carrier oils that are high in oleic. “Oils that have a high oleic content absorb faster into your skin which means your skin won’t feel oily after you apply it.” As well as choosing the right oil for your skin it’s also important to buy quality oils. “Aim to buy carrier oils that are unbleached, unrefined and unfiltered as these types of oils retain more of their nutrients from the original source such as the seed or nut.” says relationship and health & wellness psychologist, Kristina Shafarenko. When used correctly, carrier oils can be a great addition to your daily skincare routine. The full carrier oils infographic and blog can be found here and was created by Loxa Beauty.

Hi I thought the below may be an interesting piece for the blog on virginia.gov. Please feel free to publish it should you find it to be the right fit for your readers. If you have any questions, please let me know and make sure to copy in Karolina (karolina@dimepiecela.com). --- Lingerie, like any other fashion accessory, has undergone many transformations over the decades. From the agonising apodesme used in Ancient Greece to the peculiar pantalettes of the 1800’s we have seen it all. Sex experts Katie Lasson and Tatyana Dyachenko from Dimepiece LA have created a handy infographic which delves into the changing fashion trends of lingerie over the last 100 years. "What I found most interesting whilst doing the research for the infographic is the concept that lingerie should be visually appealing didn’t come into effect until the late 19th century." Katie Lady Duff-Gordon of Lucile was one of the main pioneers for developing lingerie that freed women from the traditional restrictive undergarments such as corsets. The famous Flappers of the 1920’s further cemented these ideals with their blatant disregard for society standards and desire for more free-flowing lingerie. Both Katie and Tatyana understand the important role that lingerie plays in a person sexuality and sexual experiences. The right underwear can transform the way you feel about yourself. It gives you a confidence boost that you never knew you needed. Katie had this to say "Lingerie is a tool that, when used correctly, can help you to feel more sexy and confident. Everyone deserves to feel good in their own skin and sexy underwear has the power to transform the way you feel about yourself". Tatyana says "Remember to wear lingerie for you, if you feel good it shines through and makes you appear more attractive to others. Confidence is sexy so embrace your body, curves and all. It’s time for you to feel good and lingerie can help you achieve that". The full research and infographic can be found here: https://dimepiecela.com/lingerie-through-the-decades-how-underwear-has-evolved/ Notes To Editors: About Dimepiece LA Dimepiece LA is your one-stop-shop for feeling sexy and confident.

Hi I am writing to you on behalf Giejo Magazine. We have received a substantial number of enquiries asking us to feature virginia.gov in our "Business Spotlight" section covering inspirational business stories (not sure if these enquiries were from your PR team or customers). We would be happy to feature virginia.gov in the next month's edition of the magazine. Here is a bit about the "Business Spolight" section The purpose of the section is to provide readers with an insight into how the business was started, a story about its founders, their motivations for starting the business, an executive overview of the company and what it does, a review of its products/services, how it compares to other companies in the industry. The piece should be informative rather than promotional. We are interested more in putting the founders/owners in the spotlight and tracking their journey. The purpose of this piece is to inspire people and not to promote products or services. Please let me know if you are interested. I would appreciate if you could revert to me by the end of the week as we are pretty tight on the deadlines. In your reply, please copy in stories@shopgiejo.com Kind regards Ieva Kubiliute

Many companies are known for their product development. That is their expertise. As senior account executive for business development at Nutritional Products International, I have worked with brands that have created and developed innovative products that consumers would want to buy. But these companies don’t have the staff or knowledge to successfully launch their products in the U.S. This is why many domestic and international health and wellness brands reach out to NPI. Launching products in the U.S. is our expertise. On a daily basis, I research companies in the health and wellness sectors, which is how I came across your brand. NPI, a global brand management company based in Boca Raton, FL., can help you. Through a one-stop, turnkey platform called the “Evolution of Distribution,” NPI gives you all the expertise and services you need when you launch your product line here. We become your headquarters in the United States. What does NPI do? We import, distribute, and market your product line. When you work with NPI, you don’t need to hire a U.S. sales and support team or contract with a high-priced Madison Avenue marketing agency. NPI, along with its sister company, InHealth Media, collaboratively work to market your products to consumers and retailers throughout the U.S. For more information, please reply to this email or contact me at MarkS@nutricompany.com. Respectfully, Mark Mark Schaeffer Senior Account Executive for Business Development Nutritional Products International 150 Palmetto Park Blvd., Suite 800 Boca Raton, FL 33432 Office: 561-544-071 MarkS@nutricompany.com

HB1232, to add citizen members to the Behavioral Health Commission, achieves benefits for the commission and the public. Research shows that policy is better when the people affected provide input about services and supports based on their lived experience. VOCAL is an organization of more than 2,000 Virginians with lived behavioral health experience. We strongly support citizen membership on the commission. Doing so ensures that the voices of Virginia’s citizens are heard. The commission will benefit by having citizen members that will help them to craft policy that makes behavioral healthcare cost efficient, effective, high quality, and appropriate to the needs of the individuals served. VOCAL joins disability Law Center of Virginia, the Virginia Association of Community Services Boards, the National Alliance on Mental Illness Virginia, Partner for Mental Health, Robin’s Hope, SAARA, Mental Health America of Virginia, Voices for Virginia’s Children, and many other organizations and individuals who support this positive change to providing outstanding behavioral health care to all Virginians

HB 139 is needed and necessary to address systemic racism and to create an equal opportunity for everyone. Many African Americans have never been repaid for their labor and contribution to our rich culture. For example, it odd that's Universities that were built by slaves for free and too expensive for their descendents to attend. In the Commonwealth African Americans are still oversentenced and don't have equal opportunity. This study will show that let's not make excuses or be afraid of what will be revealed. Rev. Dr. Emanuel C. Harris

Last Name: Mock Organization: UFCW 400 Locality: Manassas

To Chair Gilbert and the members of the House Rules Committee: Thank you for your time and attention to HB 157, Public Health Emergencies, Emergency Orders and Regulations, and Limitations. My name is Kayla Mock, with the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, Local 400, representing over 40,000 members, 13,000 of which are members in Virginia as grocery, retail, health care, and food processing and distribution employees. We oppose this bill. Our members have been on the front lines of this ongoing pandemic, putting their lives, their health, and the wellness of their families at risk to serve our communities and keep our economy afloat. We have seen firsthand because of the COVID pandemic how fragile the systems of safety are, and how, when we keep workers safe, we keep our communities safe. When the unexpected pandemic hit, we were all unprepared. But because of the bold initiative by the Virginia Safety & Health Code Board, Virginia was the first state to issue a permanent emergency standard that required employers to develop and implement and infectious disease preparedness and prevention plan specific to their workplace to prevent worker exposure. Virginia honored frontline workers by setting a precedent to keep them safe. Some estimations are that we have lost over 178 grocery employees to the COVID pandemic, and that number is only up through April 2021. That number, while too high, may have been far higher without the VSHCB’s urgent actions to protect workers. This bill weakens the authority of the VSCHB by placing time consuming, additional, and unnecessary requirements before the Board can act to address an emergency and reduces the time that an emergency regulation can be in place without consideration to the severity of the emergency. It furthermore puts workers at risk of retaliation by making complaints filed to provide full names and contact information, therefore not allowing workers to submit anonymous complaints against an employer about an emergent hazard and makes all complaints public record. No one goes to work to be exposed to hazardous, life-threatening situations. No one goes to work to put their health at risk. Workers have carried us through this pandemic, and it is now our responsibility to protect them as much as possible. On behalf of our members and all workers in Virginia, we oppose SB 157.

Comments Document

The Northern Virginia Veterans Association (NOVA Veterans) supports House Bill 432 - Help Bring A Veterans Care Center to Northern Virginia. Transportation to the two existing facilities is difficult to arrange and requires a long commute from the eastern corridor of Northern Virginia. NOVA Veterans prepared a white paper on transportation and a needs analysis. Transportation services for veterans to their medical appointments is difficult to arrange for numerous reasons, including transportation organizations’ prohibitively high costs, not accepting insurance, not serving veterans of all ages and not serving those with disabilities. FACTORS THAT PREVENT RELIABLE SAFE TRANSPORTATION • High cost of transportation or insurance not accepted • Complicated application process • No immediate services / weekend service • Age restrictions 50 to 65 years of age and older • Limited geographic region, limited hours, limited duration • Limited number of trips in a time period • Only drop offs at transportation stations/stops • Serving only ambulatory veterans • Drivers not allowed on military installations • Lyft/Uber not experienced with veteran-specific needs For as long as transportation services remain inaccessible to Virginia’s most vulnerable veterans, their overall health, well-being, and continuity of care may continue to decline. The 2017 US Census reports out of 199,049 veterans living in our 10-county service area, 62,471 of these veterans are categorized to be within our vulnerable veteran population with 4,688 (2.4%) in poverty, 31,431 (15.8%) disabled, and 26,352 (13.2%) age 75+. These are the veterans who urgently need our support and services. It is not uncommon for older veterans to experience barriers to access care: Transportation Case Story – Marine Corps Veteran, Prince William County Veteran did not qualify for VA hospital transportation because he lived too close to the facility. For checkups, bloodwork or x-ray he could drive himself to the metro station and catch a shuttle to the VA hospital. Procedures using anesthesia and chemotherapy required a person to stay with him and drive him home. As he became sicker, he could not drive himself. He skipped his medicine to be able to drive to the VA hospital. It caused pain and made it difficult to drive. This was an awful choice for Robert to have to make. After an in-patient surgical procedure and chemotherapy, he was discharged from the VA hospital on a Saturday. The VA shuttles did not run on the weekend, so he walked several blocks to a bus to take him to the metro station. Each step was painful and agonizing. NOVA Veterans supports House Bill 432 - Help Bring A Veterans Care Center to Northern Virginia. Let us come together as a community and create a Veterans Care Center on the eastern side of the Northern Virginia corridor that we are proud of, to provide service to those veterans who most desperately need it.

Last Name: Riley Locality: Prince William

7 February 2022 Comments in support of HB 432 directing the Department of Veterans Services to study and plan for the development of a veterans care center along the eastern corridor of Northern Virginia. Good Day Rules Committee - Studies Subcommittee: I am a 100% disabled veteran and am fortunate to have private health care coverage in addition to my Tricare health care support. Yet, there are many veterans who are unable to work, or are unable to receive the level of care necessary for them to maintain daily functions. As you know the Northern Virginia area has a significant number of veterans who have elected to call Virginia their home. For us, we are limited to Department of Veterans Affairs medical care at either the Washington DC VA Medical Center or the Hunter Holmes McGuire VA Medical Center in Richmond. Time and distance become factors. Your support of this study will indicate to veterans the Commonwealth’s support of their health care needs and the sacrifices they made. It will also demonstrate your acknowledgement of the promise this country made to veterans to take care of them. Virginia can be a leader in meeting veteran health care needs, and reducing time and distance factors by locating a facility in the Northern Virginia area.

Establishing a State Veterans Nursing Home is a badly needed addition to care for our Nation’s Veterans. I have personally operated (as a Contractor) 7 State Veterans Nursing Homes. Three each in Alabama and Mississippi and one in South Carolina. The three in Alabama and Mississippi were fraught with financial problems that caused significant issues for the veteran patients. Only South Carolina provided adequate funding and State assistance that ensured the highest level of care to the veterans. If this Bill is approved, I would be more than pleased to voluntarily pass along “lessons learned” from my previous involvement from inception to operations for these facilities. PLEASE approve this Bill. Sincerely, William A. Joseph CDR MSC USN (Ret) (703) 517 7595

I’m a Marine Veterans with multiple tours in Viet Nam. I was a Major when I ended my service in the Corps in 1981. I didn’t retire from the Marines, and until last year other than VA Home Loans, I have never taken advantage of any of the Veterans benefits. Last year I finally obtained my VA Card and went to see my first military doctor since 1981. Part of the reason I had not used my benefits was that they are not conveniently located. My current prescription glasses are almost a year overdue for replacement simply because instead of going to Ft. Belvoir, where my military primary care doctor is located, I would have to go to DC or Richmond to see an eye doctor. Particularly with COVID, I didn’t want to travel that far. I talked to a friend whose brother is in the Richmond center, except for two things, he only has good words for the facility. The two exceptions were that it is costly and too far away. I highly recommend that consideration be given to a location in the southeastern part of Northern VA. This would benefit many lower-income veterans than a more affluent northern and western NOVA facility. It would reduce travel time for family members and perhaps be serviced by public transportation. I also believe that there are more potential volunteers in the southeast part of NOVA since many former enlisted families live in the less expensive counties but close to Quantico and Ft Belvoir to take advantage of their on-base benefits

HB432- For those that care about our veterans, it is imperative that you establish a care center in the eastern portion of the Northern Virginia region to provide affordable, long-term nursing care to veterans. With the aging population of our veterans in the the Northern Virginia region, the care center will benefit veterans and make it easier for their families to due to cost and location. Long-term care is always difficult for the veterans and their families and current locations of care centers include significant distance and traffic (which is added cost for the veterans' families). Veterans have sacrificed time away from their families while serving in the military. Spending time away from their families while in long-term care because of an absence of a care center in the Northern Virginia area would be devastating to both the veteran and family member. Please take care of our veterans who have made great sacrifices for our country by adopting and implementing HB 432. Thank you. Dr. Lanier

With over 780000 veterans here in Virginia with many along the I95 corridor up to Northern Virginia and limited veteran healthcare services, there is a great need for more VA hospitals, clinics and offices throughout the Commonwealth. I am currently the State Surgeon in the Department of Virginia Veterans of Foreign Wars. I am responsible for the health and well being of the 32,000 members here in Virginia. As I speak to the many members throughout the state, one of the biggest concerns is the access to VA health benefits. Many have to travel more than 2 hours to be seen. I strongly support HB432 and the time is now to get this bill passed.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs projects that Virginia will have the 4th largest number of veterans of any state in the nation by 2030 and will continue that ranking through at least 2040. The provision of quality care in the vicinity of a veteran's family and friends is a critical aspect contributing to a veteran's quality of life. I wholeheartedly endorse HB 432 and encourage the Committee to report it favorable.

Members of the Rules-Studies subcommittee, My name is Victor AngryI am a member of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors and today I am speaking to you as a retired Army Veteran serving over 23 years and retiring as a Command Sergeant Major (E9) and I support HB432 for the creation of a Veterans Care Center in the Eastern portion of Northern VA. - Northern Virginia is home to many veterans. In fact, one in four veterans residing in the Commonwealth of Virginia call Northern Virginia home. Our veterans deserve the opportunity to age in place gracefully in the communities that they have called home for years. I list just a few of the reasons why, and there are many more. - The commute time for veterans and their families from the eastern corridor of Northern Virginia to the two existing care centers in the Commonwealth can be rather time-consuming. - A Northern Virginia veterans care center is not simply an investment in our veterans, but in the families and friends who play the vital role of members of veteran support systems who wish to serve an ever-present role in the life of their loved ones. -Northern Virginia is equipped with built-in resources and volunteers for supplementing the care of the Department of Veteran Services given the close proximity to three military installations and countless nonprofit organizations aimed at addressing the needs of veterans of all ages. On behalf of all Veterans around the country, I ask each of you to support this bill unanimously. Respectfully, CSM (retired) Victor Angry

I am a 78-year-old retired Air Force Veteran. I am also a widow who lives alone. My brother is 71 years old honorably discharged veteran and a resident in the Sitter and Barfoot Veterans Care Facility in Richmond Virginia. He has dementia and Parkinson's disease. Before obtaining residency at this facility, I was my brother's sole means of care. I could not leave him at home alone. Additionally, he would walk away from home and become lost. The Prince William Police would locate him and call me. I have spent tons of hours searching for him. We have a 76-year-old sister with diabetes. Her condition requires her to reside with one of her daughters. Thus, she could not help me. Before obtaining residency at the present care facility, I had to take my brother with me everywhere I went. I contacted every facility in the local commuting community seeking help. The bottom line was always the cost and the demand that I sign and be responsible for paying for his care. I could not afford the cost-plus I have a responsibility to my children, grand and great-grandchildren. One of the county social services employees recommended the Sitter and Barfoot facility to me. This Facility offers excellent medical support, good food, and service. The building facility is also excellent. The only negative issue is the one-hundred-plus miles distance I have to travel to visit him. There is a large population of veterans in this area. A facility located in this area would serve the large Northern Virginia Community well.

Good day Virginia Delegates and Delegate Sewell, Thank you for allowing me to provide my personal perspective on HB 432. My husband is a recently retired Marine Corps Veteran. Many of my dear friends living in Northern Virginia also are recently retired or are retiring in the coming years. While the tender age of 43 seems young to consider long-term care facilities, it is not something that I consider a too distant future. An option for a Veteran care facility ensures that the service member receives the high-quality care that the VA has identified post service. Additionally, a Veteran who sustained injury during active duty and is 100% disabled, in my husband's case and in the case of several of our friends who served during 2001-2021 in Iraq and Afghanistan, long-term care is an inevitability. I am a speech pathologist and have seen the care that is provided in Skilled Nursing Facilities. As a therapy provider, I uniquely understand the variety of care a person requires as they age. Considerations such as daily hygiene, medicine support, swallowing/feeding, communication support, safe exercise and recreation, quality of life support, memory and Alzheimer's care can be uniquely supported in a Veteran Care facility. The Veteran Care Center would be in an excellent location in Eastern Prince William County. Virginia already provides excellent Veteran benefits to service members and their dependents. There will not be a shortage of Veterans residing in Northern Virginia to fill the beds. The location would allow for continuity of care for some residents at the military treatment facilities in the area. It would also allow for ease in transportation for Veteran spouses to visit their Veteran with more consistency than traveling for hours or relocating to be near their spouse. We chose to retire in Virginia because the benefits our family would receive based on my husband's 21-year career in the infantry would support our family well past retirement. We joke from time to time that we need to start finding a long-term care facility that will take us both, and we will need to find a Veteran friendly facility because I am certain I'll be tired of hearing the same war stories when we are in our 90s. I joke and tell my husband that in a care facility that supports service members, I'd be free to run off with my Golden Girls to the National Mall or the local mall while he and the other Marines talk of the good old days. I imagine in a Veteran Care facility, there would be plenty of laughter and camaraderie like no other long-term care facility. I urge you to support Delegate Sewell in her efforts to develop a Veteran's Care Center in our county. Please support HB 432 and consider that by the time the facility is approved and built, my husband will still not likely need the facility at his bicentennial birthday, but it may be a wonderful place for us to visit some of his Marines and commanders benefitting from our advocacy. Semper Fidelis and many thanks for your devotion to the citizens of Virginia.

I am writing in support of HB 777, a bill to add some policy principles and standards for the exercise of certain emergency authorities by the Executive Branch. For background, I worked in the U.S. House of Representatives as Committee Staff for about 17 years including work on issues like emergency and pandemic preparedness as well as many regulatory programs. I also worked in the Office of General Counsel for the Environmental Protection Agency for about 7 years with respecting to many rulemakings. I have reviewed a great deal about the applicable law and positions of the Executive Branch regarding these authorities. For months on end in 2020 and 2021, the Governor and the Commissioner of Health signed orders with constantly shifting standards, to subject millions of Virginians and tens of thousands of Virginia businesses to harmful and burdensome regulations, most carrying the threat of criminal penalty, and nearly all without legal precedence, justification, or authority The mandates of the Governor and Health Commissioner in these orders infringed on multiple fundamental rights including their freedom of assembly, freedom of association, free exercise of religion, free speech, privacy, and due process of law. I have never seen a situation where one or two individuals can sign orders that operate as rules for months and which impose criminal sanctions for each violation of up to a year in jail and $25,000. There are no legislative standards guiding these orders. According to the Executive Branch, if it is about COVID, the Executive Branch can issue orders and there are no legislative standards beyond the fact there is a public health emergency. And the Governor can declare virtually anything an emergency. Moreover, according to Governor Northam, even though the orders operate as rules with the meaning of the Virginia Administrative Process Act (VAPA), the Executive Branch purports to operate outside of VAPA and fought judicial review. Much more oversight is necessary. There should be a public docket with all of the communications and deliberations of Governor Northam, Health Commissioner Oliver, and staff along with comments and analysis of this extended period where two men ruled through threats of criminal sanctions. The Governor and Health Commissioner issued rules that subject businesses and citizens to criminal sanctions 1) without operating through a permissible delegation of rulemaking authority which establishes “specific policies” and fixes “definite standards” (see impermissible delegation argument in written submission), 2) with no public docket or official public comments structure, 3) that place limits on assemblies (including religious and political assembly), 4) that provide a government definitions of who may sit, stand or have an ordinary conversation within 6 feet in various settings, 5) that determine which businesses win and which lose in the face of the same level of risks, and 6) which are un-Constitutionally vague. HB 777 are common sense standards and by no means prevent the exercise of such authorities as appropriate. These standards would focus on assuring a proper record and that rules, if any, are limited and properly tailored particular with respect to fundamental rights in Virginia.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and Members of the Committee, for the opportunity to express my support for the bill of Delegate Dave La Rock, HB 777. It is an important and common-sense bill. I am writing in support of HB 777, a bill to add some policy principles and standards for the exercise of certain emergency authorities by the Executive Branch. For background, I worked in the U.S. House of Representatives as Committee Staff for about 17 years including work on issues like emergency and pandemic preparedness as well as many regulatory programs. I also worked in the Office of General Counsel for the Environmental Protection Agency for about 7 years with respecting to many rulemakings.

Throughout the process Governor Northam and Health Commissioner Oliver fought the right to judicial review in every conceivable manner. HB 777 would bring some legislative standards to these issues. Separation of Powers belongs to everyone in Virginia. It is important that the General Assembly respect this element of the Virginia Constitution and provide the type of guidance and limitations that are required before threatening millions of Virginians, hundreds of thousands of Virginia businesses, and tens of thousands of religious institutions with criminal sanctions. These provisions are common sense standards and by no means prevent the exercise of such authorities as appropriate. These standards would focus on assuring a proper record and that rules, if any are limited and properly tailored particular with respect to fundamental rights in Virginia. Open-ended Executive authority that proceeds for months at a time is not appropriate. Virginia suffered rule for over a year. It is long past time to end this approach that is deeply antithetical to the Virginia Constitution and the rights of all Virginians. Nandan Kenkeremath

I am speaking in my personal capacity, but I am the acting Chair of the Poquoson Republican Party and I was the Republican nominee for Delegate in Virginia's 91st District in 2019. I mention this only because I have had the privilege of walking door-to-door talking to constituents in what is currently the 91st District, which contains much of the City of Hampton, including Hampton University. This is a wonderfully diverse district. I commend Delegate Cordoza for following through with bills to effectuate the principles on which he ran, issues that unite and don't divide us. Constituents throughout the 91st district are eager to see expanded opportunities for all, and for people of all races and creeds to have role models to whom they can relate. Historically Black Colleges and Universities have a rich history of not only equipping their students with tools to succeed, but they have led the way for other institutions to prepare all students to realize the American dream. At this volatile time in our history, we need more of this type of leadership and hope! Hampton University is a standard of excellence among all universities as well as among Historically Black Universities, and it is vital to honor the role Dr. Harvey's leadership has played in HU's success. It is also essential to honor Dr. Harvey's remarkable accomplishments as a successful business owner, philanthropist and community leader. I strongly urge the Committee to support HB1057 and HJ27.

HB1051, HB288, HB292, HB299,HB509 - PLEASE DO NOT PASS THIS BILL. I have a concealed carry myself and respect 2nd amendment rights to the letter of the law. When someone gets a protective order against them they have been convicted of violence. I spent 5 months trying to obtain a protective order from the courts on a man I was married to for 5 years. This man had an arsenal of weapons - maybe as many as 45 including AR's he built himself without any markings. He physically abused me and I had proof of that, I had to leave my own home because he would not and the police didn't make him. I continued to pay all bills including mortgages, utilities everything, he paid nothing but refused to leave. He threatened my life and held a gun on me several times. 5 months of this and finally some really wonderful judge granted a protective order. Now you want to allow him to have his guns back? Anyone with a protective order has faced physical violence or death threats. We are scared for the lives and safety of ourselves and families. Please do not do this to us. I would be glad to speak with you if you need me to. The last year of my life has been a nightmare. I marched on the capital for 2nd Amendment rights myself. But with the advent of violence I have faced in the last year I truly feel that we need to take a 2nd look at anyone who has weapons and is charged in any domestic violence situation. HB1205 - My ex actually stalks me and has been doing this for 5 years. He knows everywhere I go, everything I do, every call I make, every text message I send or receive, and reads all my email. He shuts down my computers, email, phones if there is something he does not want me to have access to like loan closing documents for my home. My realtor had to hand carry everything to me. I have documented proof of everything. Even where he was messing with the loan documents. Called police they said unless money is missing from your account no crime has been committed. (So much for identity theft). Everyone thinks someone else has the ball on this. This bill covers only the General Assembly - what about the Citizens of Virginia?? Cyber crime is the biggest, fastest growing segment. It is web based? Do you not want to protect the citizens of Virginia then give us a place to go when we are attacked. I have no means to trace anything to source only police can do that. If they wont ?? Everyone says it is someone elses job. Therefore nobody has the ball and the little guy is suffering. Help us too!! HJ3 - PLEASE VOTE YES ON THIS. A convention of states is the only way to fix what is broken in DC. A lot of people believe it will be runaway but so many safeguards are built in that could never happen. Besides in 100 years of being allowed to tax how would you grade their performance? Pretty bad huh? Maybe its time to move some of that back to the states where it really does belong. They take our money and do things they were never chartered to do. Your jobs. Bring it home and fix this mess please. Term limits, budget controls, federal overreach.

The importance of passing this bill is very crucial to the working class. Especially, for our front line workers, gig workers and generally contractors. If you are receiving health care benefits, better pay and the ability to have livable wages then push for the HB 1220 and the ProACT. Are we really ready to "Build Back Better"? If so, moves this Bill forward. If not, then we are really, Building Backwards and NOT moving forward for the working class. THANK YOU.

For Virginia to remain to attract outside business and keep those we have we must never turn out workforce over to unions. Unions are a major reasons industries relocated to the South from the North to get out from under control of Unions. Unions are also responsible for destroying our automobile industry and moving many of our jobs off shore. Denial of the past effects Unions have had on our economy is irresponsible political suicide for Virginia and our nation.

Last Name: Neel Locality: Richmond

I speak in defeating HB1220 to repeal any right to work provision in the Virginia Code. You need only look at those states, NY, NJ, Mich, etc where right tot work does not exist, to see the adverse impact it has on the overall economy, taxes, cost of living etc to see where union control of jobs leads. I also speak out the decry the need to continue to study the need to change the tax law for standard deduction HJ24. How much do you need to study when the surplus is over $2B as a result of over taxation by the state. Refund the money to the people who paid it. What else needs to be studied??? I strongly urge the General Assembly to support HJ3 Convention of States resolution. Our country today is suffering from the corruption of life long professional politician. The constitution nor thye founding fathers never intended for the people representatives to serve for life. Better representation is a product of more diverse views which comes with replacement on a constant basis of the representatives. No bill or resolution is more direly needed today than TERM LIMITS in the US congress.

Repealing Right To Work laws, would give virginia workers the choice to work to get better working conditions, life and family sustaining wages, and have a seat at the table. No worker should have to work multiple jobs, endure unsafe work environments or still have problems paying for basic necessities such as rent/mortgage, utilities, clothes, food, medicine, transportation, and child care. Right to Work laws stem for Jim Crow era policies intended to create barriers to quality jobs based on race . In the 1940's while promoting Right To Work Laws, the message that was disseminated was if "right to work laws were not passed, white women and white men would be forced into with black workers ( a derogatory term was actually used). Workers in states with labor protections experience better wages, lover poverty and infant mortality rates, safer conditions, and better access to quality healthcare, training programs and education. It makes sense for the betterment of all Virigina's workers to support and vote YES for HB1220.

Last Name: Morgan Organization: VA Chapter of American Promise Locality: Alexandria

My name is Nancy Morgan, Coordinator for the VA Chapter of American Promise and we support this bill (HJ53) . As an organization focused on best practices in campaign finance, we testified at every meeting of the last Joint Leg. Sub-Committee meeting of campaign finance reform. The testimony from the National Conference of State Legislators in the first meeting clearly highlighted that Virginia is a clear statistical outlier with regards to campaign finance oversight, transparency, and ensuring a level playing field in terms of capping limitations. Consequently, we rank 46 out of 50 states in terms of good governance related to disclosure and transparency. The committee in its four meetings held between August-October last year clearly didn’t have the time to review all critical elements related to comprehensive campaign finance reform. Recent polling by the Wason Center reveals that nearly 80 percent of Virginians support reducing the influence of large donors and 88 percent want full disclosure. I think that this body should extend the mandate of this committee so that they can respond to the wishes of Virginia citizens. Campaign finance reform was proposed in Governor Wilder's Commission Report in 1994 and Virginians, 30 years, later want common sense campaign finance legislation introduced. Continuing this Sub-commission will ensure that legislation can be introduced drawing from best practices from around the country.

Last Name: Mott Organization: Virginia Chapter of American Promise Locality: Arlington

Jessica Mott, Virginia Chapter of American Promise. We support HJ53. Virginians care about campaign finance reform – for example a recent poll shows 78% support reducing money from big donors and 75% support creating contribution limits. In 2021, the Joint Subcommittee on Campaign Finance Reform helped to raise legislators’ understanding of disclosure, oversight, and personal use restriction issues, including best practice in other jurisdictions. The 2021 Joint Subcommittee aired concerns, and likely contributed to the increased consideration and support of several disclosure and oversight bills during the 2022 General Assembly session. P&E Subcommittee discussion of various limit bills last week noted the need for more through discussion by a continued Joint Campaign Finance Reform Subcommittee. Virginia still has a long way to go in reforming campaign finance in ways that increase the confidence of average citizens that their voices will be heard and reflected in the state legislature. The proposed continuation Subcommittee would contribute to this end.

Last Name: Millhouser Locality: Fairfax county

Good morning Chairman and members of the committee I urge you to support HJ53 which calls for the extension of the Joint Subcommittee to Study Comprehensive Campaign Finance Reform. Although the subcommittee met four times in 2021, the committees work was hindered by COVID - 19 meeting restrictions and the sheer complexity of the topic. The Subcommittee made good progress in resolving legislative concerns regarding how best to regulate the personal use of campaign funds. However, the two house bills to address this issue failed to pass out of a House P+E subcommittee last week. Several other CFR bills have failed in committee despite broad public support. Extending the study committee for another year will provide an opportunity to address concerns regarding these important bills that have been raised in this years session . Thank you for the opportunity to comment, Bill Millhouser

I'm in support of HJ 61 because the safety of all offenders and staff should be a top priority. The staff shortage in which correctional facilities (especially in prisons) has reached a critical level in which safety and security is in jeopardy. The solution that administrators use to remedy the problem by implementing mandatory overtime and the augmentation of security staff to various institutions isn't a long - term solution. It's only a temporary fix that creates both physical and mental fatigue to an already reduce staffing level. I ask of my constituents to please support HJ 61 to ensure the safety of offenders and staff inside the correctional facilities, but also the safety of the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Thank you.

Last Name: Moore Locality: Jarratt

Good morning, thank you for this opportunity. I ask that you all please vote in favor of HJ61. Continuing this study is vital to the future of the VA DOC. Without this study people who wouldn’t ordinarily get to see the inside operation of the prison system would never know what staff and the population deal with on an everyday basis. This study provides the opportunity for staff to speak their truths without the fear of retaliatory measures. There are reasons other than the salary deficit that explains the current staff shortages within the department. Without this study voices will continue to be muffled. People are working in very dangerous conditions some of which can be avoided. Executive staff talking to line staff like they are less than the population we serve. There’s a clear understanding that “we are in the business to make people better” , but please understand if we the staff aren’t our best there is no way we can help others achieve their best. Our ultimate goal is to prepare men and women to leave the department with skills, knowledge, and rehabilitation so that their chances of becoming law abiding, tax paying, positive citizens far outweigh the likelihood they will reoffend creating more victims. Will we ever live in a crime free world? One can only hope, but we can with the right tools and leadership make a valiant effort. But we need the study to highlight what’s working and uncover what is not. So please consider those people working inside these prison walls and on the streets through probation and parole and vote in favor of HJ61 we beg of you. Thank you,

Thank you

As a constituent of Henrico county but also an employee of the Virginia Department of the department Corrections I hope that the committee is in favor of this bill brought fourth by Delegate Hope. This year is the first year that I really feel that the individuals from this original committee were able to see first hand just how under valued the VA Department of Corrections employees are. We work in very serious conditions in order to keep the public safe but are paid extremely lower. Staffing has become our main problem mostly because people can go to a different agency and make way more money. The least amount of staff that we have the more dangerous it is at that work site. The committee has been successful with this study over the last year and I believe that if they are allowed to continue, the layers will began to be pulled back to expose other possible underlining issues. I support HJ 61 and I hope that you all do as well. Thank you

Comments Document

The nation receives important national, homeland, and economic security benefits from the Jones Act, otherwise known as the Merchant Mariner Act of 1920. The Navy League’s primary interest in the Jones Act is the support to national security. It requires ships traveling between U.S. ports be U.S.-flagged, American built, 75 percent owned and at least 75 percent crewed by U.S. citizens. It also provides fair labor standards and safety for U.S.-flag ships. A Maritime Administration survey found that 47 nations have laws restricting foreign access to domestic trade, so the Jones Act is not unusual globally. This legislation provides for the majority of oceangoing vessels under U.S. flag. The Jones Act also: Generates Economic Output • $154B in total economic output • $16B in tax revenue • An economic impact of more than $150B Adds Economic Value • $41B in annual wages for Americans • $72B in value added to our economic output • $20B in domestic investments Creates Job Growth • Providing 650,000 jobs • Multiplying job growth. One shipyard job creates four more jobs elsewhere Supports America • With 650,000 jobs nationwide • Through Economic and National Security by maintaining our reliance on U.S. owned commercial fleet, and providing the National Security structure to respond to security threats • Reliance upon sealift in peace, crisis, and war Given that U.S. Combatant Commander plans rely on commercial oceangoing vessels to transport more than 95 percent of supplies, the health of our U.S.-flag merchant marine is critical. The Jones Act helps to meet strategic sealift requirements by providing a pool of certified mariners and militarily-useful ships eliminating reliance on foreign owned and flagged vessels. The domestic American maritime industry strengthens U.S. national security and the Jones Act is critical to our national interest.
