Please move to report HB307, HB890, HB970, HB1287, HB1303. Please gently PBI HB891.
I hope you will support 150, 216, 307, 444, 599,631, 970 being moved to report as being in the best interests of openness for the people. I am against 331 for that same issue. Thank you.
Thank you for your consideration. Please report HB150, 307, 444, 599, and 722 out of committee. These will help infrequent requestors of small amounts of data to not be nickle and dimed to death, and will allow those who have kids or are seniors/can't drive at night or the handicapped/disabled to participate more fully in meetings. I ask that you vote against HB33 and HB687 for the same reasons.

Good afternoon Mr. Chairman and members of the Subcommittee, I am speaking on behalf of the Virginia Association of Roofing Professionals and the International Institute of Building Envelope Consultants, Virginia Chapter Both VARP and IIBEC stand opposed to HB 705. The attached talking points describe the bi-partisan manner in which Construction has been excluded from Cooperative Procurement in 2016 and in the following years any changes have been defeated in a bi-partisan manner. In short, the prohibition comes as Cooperative Procurement for Construction: Lacks Transparency, Limits opportunities for business', SWAM, non-SWAM, MBE, non-MBE, etc... and ultimately this procurement costs more than a traditional procurement. VARP stands opposed to HB 881. Our principal objections and opposition is that the bill does not actually remedy the issue at hand. We believe the issue is important and ALL stakeholders should gather post session to seek to work the issues out. The bill in its current format does not do anything to prohibit the bad actors and it does actually speed up the subcontractor receiving funds. Members of the committee, we appreciate your time and consideration in these matters and hope that you will oppose these two (2) bills.

Speaking in support of HB 881.
Talking points on why construction subcontractors need this legislation.
HB890 - Va. Freedom of Information Act; release of certain law-enforcement criminal incident information.

Sensitive information regarding cold cases being released can be detrimental to future investigations, ie.: giving information can create false admissions/confessions to the crime; it can be released to the suspect whereby he knows what the investigators have, and or the nature and possible identities of witnesses - solely redacting names of witnesses does not exclude the suspect deducing who that person is.

The city has chosen ONE as a gaming host. This bill is identical to Morrissey's SB203 which puts limits on a casino referendum in Richmond for five years. We in the city of Richmond feels as Mr. Morrissey have committed MUTINY on us. We see this bill (HB-1134) only as a designed to remove Richmond city from becoming a host city, which in the end becomes Richmond being remove indefinite. PLEASE VOTE NO to HB-1134.
