Last Name: Creekmore Organization: Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court (contract) Locality: Henrico

The compensation for special justices, court-appointed attorneys, and independent examiners in civil courts had received up until last year had not been raised by statute forover 15 years. Last year the court-appointed lawyers compensation for representation of indigent clients was raised substantially. The Deeds Commission noted recently that Virginia was 49th or 50th in the nation. It is time to raise the statute frozen fees for hard-working special justices and independent examiners as well, particularly if MD and PhDs are to be encouraged to undertake the kind of high risk complex neuropsychiatric clinical assessments that increasingly are at evidence in the EDs, psychiatric units, and Crisis Now Centers that are increasingly coming into play under the Governor's Right Help Right Now. You cannot expect the quality of forensic and neuropsychiatric expertise that will be require under an EDCOT styled evaluation program under CCBHC community if you do not pay these professional competitive rates, particularly psychologists and other licensed professionals if they are to undertake to do these kinds of "high risk" assessments and to participate actively in specialty court proceedings. There are already major workforce shortages among these licensed professionals which will only get worse if they are not offered competitive rates.

Last Name: Creekmore Organization: Independent Examiners Contracted under the Virginia Supreme Courts Locality: Henrico

The lawyers, special justices, and independent examiners providing special judicial services are hard-working profession who have had their fees fixed by statute for many years. As an independent examiner contracted through the OES, the statutorily "frozen" fee I receive ($75 per evaluation) has not been increased in the 15 years + that I have provided this service as a licensed professional. I urge the Committee to vote in the affirmative for Watts HB125.

HB246 - Fines, restitution, forfeiture, penalties, etc.; criminal and traffic cases, itemized statement.

Please vote no on HB 394, HB 391, HB 399, HB 400, & HB 77. We no longer want to live in a state that is"tough on crime" without providing proper mental health and meaningful rehabilitation. We believe in public safety AND human rights. Virginia does NOT need the death penalty. We need reform. Focus on root causes of problems using common sense.

Hb640 vote yes. Wrongful incarceration is a huge thing that nothing can make up for so people deserve as just compensation as possible

Last Name: Patwardhan Locality: Fairfax Coutny

I SUPPORT HB 174. Marriage equality is long overdue. I SUPPORT HB 640. It's the least we can do to provide restitution to someone who was wrongfully incarcerated. I SUPPORT HB 766. Sexual abuse should absolutely be taken into account when adjudicating for a child's best interest and no child should be under the custody of someone who abused them. I SUPPORT HB 81. It's disgraceful that someone who suffered enough to attempt or die or suicide would ever be treated like a criminal, and this kind of stigma is a barrier to getting help that would prevent suicide. I OPPOSE HB394. It was a joyous occasion in 2021 when Virginia abolished the death penalty, and we should never go back to the days that we still had that.

HB641 - Relief; Kingrea, David Wayne, compensation for wrongful inclusion on sex offender registry.

HB651 as written will violate existing law. I am concerned about cyber security. If a Cyber Civilian Corps provides in-kind services it would violate Virginia Code 24.2-124.1 as they would be providing services given by a private individual or nongovernmental entity which is prohibited in 24.2-124.1, which states : "Acceptance of certain gifts and funding prohibited": "The State Board, the Department, each local electoral board, and all offices of the general registrar shall not solicit, accept, use, or dispose of any money, grants, property, or services given by a private individual or nongovernmental entity for the purpose of funding voter education and outreach programs, voter registration programs, or any other expense incurred in the conduct of elections." Amend this bad bill, or vote against it please.

Last Name: Brim Organization: FAIRFAX COUNTY Republican Committee Locality: Fairfax

HB651 should be amended in order not to violate existing law: specifically, it should be amended to exclude any assignments for cyber security to state, county or municipal election offices, or for election equipment or for any other purpose or function related to elections in the Commonwealth. The proposed "Cyber Civilian Corps" constitutes in-kind services, and HB651 if applied to elections in any way, violates Virginia Code 24.2-124.1. The use of Cyber Civilian Corps in elections would specifically violate the "services given by a private individual or nongovernmental entity" prohibition in 24.2-124.1 The relevant text of 24.2-124.1 "Acceptance of certain gifts and funding prohibited": "The State Board, the Department, each local electoral board, and all offices of the general registrar shall not solicit, accept, use, or dispose of any money, grants, property, or services given by a private individual or nongovernmental entity for the purpose of funding voter education and outreach programs, voter registration programs, or any other expense incurred in the conduct of elections."

HB1416 - Deputy sheriffs; minimum number funded by Compensation Board.
Last Name: Rust Locality: Chesterfield

I oppose all these unconstitutional, dangerous, and pointless laws.

Last Name: zielanski Organization: my family Locality: Newport News, VA, USA

Dear Sir or Madame. Last year in Newport News I was assaulted by a 27 year old black man from Chesapeake because of his road rage.. This was at my local bank 11;30 in the morning. This young man almost lost his life at my hand because you cannot reel in your problem young men. His words feet from me were ' im going to kick your ass and then kill you'. My pistol changed his mind. I saw for myself the woke judges and a woke system that perpetuates the problem. The criminal justice system has been flung far far left which IS causing a public safety hazzard. No new gun control is needed. More jail time for the trash that i dealt with is. My Congressman Bobby Scott and Delegate Cia Price do not represent me.

Last Name: Moore Locality: Henrico

This debate over guns was settled in 1791. We have all the laws we need to cover the action of a criminal. Murder is illegal no matter the tool used. Assualt is illegal no matter the tool used. Your ridiculous attack on the rights of all Virginians is just another chapter in the failure our our legislature to deal with the true issues that plague our state. Restore our rights and work to better the state and stop with the petty and vindictive law making that only hurts the innocent. Every day our governing bodies from congress to you become less relevant as a part of our lives, since all you ever manage to do is destroy and steal.

Last Name: Davis Locality: Saltville

In Ohio one year after constitution carry passed gun crimes went down

Last Name: Barnes Organization: Citizen Locality: Bedford

I've commend prior on these issue but would like to reemphasize that more laws of these nature only impose on those of us that already obey the law and I think that you could explain this to your constituents demanding more gun control. I always find it ironic and dubious that those wanting more gun control either don't own a gun, have never fired a gun or don't want to purchase one but wish to infringe upon those of us who are responsible gun owners. Many of these bills on gun control shouldn't even be proposed and if you are supporting these bills you're being dishonest to your own base in tell them that this will reduce crime. It can't reduce crime and never has since other cities such as Chicago ,crime ALWAYS increases with more gun control and Always goes down with less in most situations. I have friend who lives in Chicago and had to sue because they outlawed all firearms several years back. The citizens won that case and were allowed to own AR-15's and all various forms of semi automatic fire arms pistol and rifle. According to him and the data CRIME WENT DOWN. The exception to gun laws which are already on the book as always is proper back ground checks so criminals cannot exploit the legal process by purchasing as a felon. As for removing someone's rights to own a gun under a DUI or DWI I fail to see any relevance or correlation and causation to the issue of guns in general. I am apposed to all these gun control bills and support the two pro guns bills being proposed.
