HB28 - Fossil fuel projects moratorium; transitioning energy workers, environmental justice protections.
A transition to renewable energy is going to occur in the US regardless of whether this bill is approved, it just depends on whether Virginia wants to be one of the leaders in this movement. Please keep the Commonwealth at the forefront of innovation and support HB28.
As a resident of fairfax, VA, I am concerned about the environment, and hope for a cleaner, greener future for ALL. I strongly urge passing the moratorium on fossil fuels bill. Thank you!
Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) Action Fund supports the bill and thanks the patron for introducing it. The last eight years have been the hottest on record, and this past year was the hottest of them all. This summer, we were driven inside by wildfires made infinitely more likely by a warming planet. According to the United Nations Secretary-General, rapidly ending the combustion of fossil fuels is the only way to achieve the 1.5 degree warming scenario envisioned by the Paris Climate Accord and stave off the worst effects of climate change. This means that emissions must be already decreasing, and should be cut in half globally by 2030. Virginia can only accomplish the emissions reductions envisioned by the Virginia Clean Economy Act if no new fossil fuel facilities are permitted in the state. Environmental justice communities have borne the brunt of health impacts associated with fossil fuel facilities, at the same time as their local economies have become dependent on the same facilities – necessitating a specific focus on building clean energy economies in EJ communities. And, while Virginia overhauls its state energy infrastructure pursuant to the VCEA, lawmakers have the unique opportunity to ensure that the new clean energy economy contains robust labor and environmental justice protections. We urge the committee to send a clear signal to the rest of the country that Virginia is committed to doing our part to meet urgent climate deadlines by supporting the bill.
The Virginia Chapter of Elders Climate Action fully supports HB 28. The proposed moratorium on additional fossil fuel development in the state is a critical step to meeting our goals under the Virginia Clean Economy Act. The bill represents a well-thought-out proposal that addresses related labor market and environmental justice issues. Please move this bill forward.
My name is Lillian Anderson and I am the Clean Energy and Climate Justice Policy Manager at Virginia Conservation Network. Virginia Conservation Network is the partnership of over 160 environmental organizations across the Commonwealth. We support Delegate Jones's bill HB28 and Delegate Rasoul's bill HB809.
I am writing in support of HB28. It supports the environment as well as environmental justice.
There can be no more important bill on the docket than this one. STRONGLY SUPPORT!
Please vote in favor of this bill. We urgently need justice in the area of environmental protections during the transition away from fossil fuel s production and uses. This is an important piece in the process of protecting workers and helping the transition vital to all Virginia s Thank you.
The transition of our state away from fossil fuels, a dying industry, and into renewable energy, a growing industry, in a way that both ensures workers in the fossil fuel industry are retrained and given new opportunity in the renewable energy sector and that communities that have been most affected by pollution are protected is good news all around!! This would be an excellent step to protect current and future Virginians. I strongly urge all delegates to support this bill.
As a family physician in Virginia, I implore you to vote in favor of HB28. Last summer, we experienced record heat waves that research has strongly linked to human-caused climate change. Besides raising our electricity bills, these heat events caused staggering numbers of heat-related illnesses in Virginians, raising our healthcare costs and threatening my patients’ lives. Fossil fuel use also causes air pollution (both directly and through increased fire risk) that has been demonstrated to worsen asthma and cause various cancers. With temperatures rising, I have even had family members find ticks as recently as January 2024, corroborating scientists’ predictions that tick-borne illnesses like Lyme would become more common with climate change because ticks thrive in warmer environments. For these and many other reasons, please vote against fossil fuels for the sake of the health of our beloved Commonwealth.
Hello. I have the privilege of serving on the Board of Directors for both the Chesapeake Climate Action Network and the Piedmont Environmental Council, and former member of the VA Green New Deal Coalition. I am commenting on my own behalf. I wholeheartedly support HB 28 and ask that you do, too. It is clear that the rate of climate change is accelerating and that this is the decade to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. HB 28's moratorium on any new fossil fuel infrastructure of any type accomplishes this. In addition, provisions in HB 28 ensure that: EJ communities receive special attention; the new clean energy economy has effective labor and environmental justice protections. Please support HB 28.
We cannot move into the future if we continue to rely on Fossil Fuels. This moratorium will send the signal that Virginia is serious about leaving the 20th century and it's pollution addiction in the past.
On behalf of people of faith from across the Commonwealth, Virginia Interfaith Power & Light asks you to support HB 28. We thank Delegate Jones for bringing this important legislation forward and would specifically highlight the additional environmental justice protections established by this bill in § 45.2-406. Thank you.
Hi, I am writing in support of HB28. I am excited to see the scope of this fossil fuel moratorium bill especially the provisions of the 2020 VA green new deal and strong environmental justice protections! The form asks if I am writing for a particular organization - I am not. Rather, I am writing as a grandmother to be. I hope you will act to make this bill a reality. Thank you and way to go! Annie
Climate change poses the greatest threat to the health of our planet. Virginia should contribute to mitigating this threat by minimizing the carbon emissions caused by the burning of fossil fuel, as envisioned in the Virginia Clean Economy Act. That is why I urge the General Assembly to pass the moratorium on any new fossil fuel generation facilities, pipelines, refineries, or exploration contained in HB 28.
I am writing in support of HB28. This is the kind of bill we need to reduce our use of fossil fuels, ensure a just energy transition, and meet our carbon reduction goals in order to curb the worst of the climate crisis. As a parent of two young children whose future I dearly wish to protect, I strongly support this bill. Thank you.

We are not at a point where this is practical.
I support HB28. I imagine that there will be concerns around funding, but we have reached a point with the environment that we have to start prioritizing making our planet livable for us and future generations.

✅ Virginia LCV Bill Positions SUPPORT HB19, HB33, HB357, HB368 OPPOSE HB1363 HB 19 (Ware) - SUPPORT Directs the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to conduct a three-year study of the ecology, fishery impacts, and economic importance of the Atlantic menhaden population in Virginia’s waters. -- Menhaden are a critical species to provide nourishment for other fish targeted by commercial and recreational fishing industries. -- The General Assembly passed SB1388 during the 2023 legislative session, which developed plans for studying menhaden in Virginia’s waters. HB19 would direct VIMS to follow through on conducting the study HB 33 (Clark) - SUPPORT Directs the Commissioner of Health to convene a work group to study the occurrence of microplastics in the Commonwealth's public drinking water. -- As plastic breaks down over thousands of years, it does not go away but rather becomes microplastics–small plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. -- Microplastics are being found in our blood, lungs. Humans consume about a credit card worth of plastic every week. HB 357 (Simonds) - SUPPORT Establishes a work group to evaluate existing approaches to wetland conservation strategies, identify wetlands adaptation areas where tidal wetlands can persist in the landscape, and explore climate’s impact on wetlands’ health and survival. -- Wetlands are among the most productive, diverse, and important ecosystems in Virginia. Both tidal and nontidal wetlands improve water quality, reduce storm damage and flooding, control erosion, provide vital wildlife habitat, and help fight climate change. -- Virginia has already half the wetlands that existed in the 1780s due to development. According to a 2021 report by Climate Central, sea level rise threatens to cause Virginai to lose 42% of existing tidal wetlands by 2100. HB 368 (McClure) - SUPPORT This legislation would convene a stakeholder advisory group to recommend revisions to the Uniform Statewide Building Code regarding allowing multifamily buildings up to 6 stories to be served by a single staircase. -- Changing current regulations to allow single-stair buildings will empower construction of family size apartments and condos more easily and more affordably. -- Single stair construction is used in NYC, Seattle, and across Europe for buildings with a single staircase up to six stories in height. Modern fire safety measures such as fire resistant building materials, sprinkler systems, and secondary fire escapes mitigate fire risk. HB 1363 (O’Quinn) - OPPOSE -- This 2024 legislation is the “study version” of failed attempts in 2022 and 2023 to ban localities from electrifying new building construction–using the same broad language aimed at preventing any local action that “limits, prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting” natural gas service. -- The parameters of the study imply that Virginia’s clean energy transition threatens jobs, revenue, and our national security. -- This study seeks only to measure access to “fuels” methane (natural gas), or propane. It fails to consider whether banks, schools, state and local buildings, transit or telecommunications providers can use non-gas sources to meet their future energy needs. -- Prohibiting building electrification can leave high-density zones vulnerable to gas leaks, result in worsened indoor air quality, and prevent localities from meeting local emissions reductions targets.

HB239 - Sickle Cell Disease, Advisory Council on; established, report.
I support HB239. I didn't make a comment on the Sickle Cell bill that was introduced last session because I thought almost everyone would want to support a bill that improves the lives of people, but it didn't pass. This bill will help to improve the quality of health care for people with Sickle Cell, which is critical. It is also a way that the government can make reparations to Black people for years of health care discrimination and inequity from which they have suffered.

Friends of the Rappahannock supports HB357. As wetlands disappear at increased rates from sea level rise and human activity a coherent and coordinated plan is needed. Wetland restoration activity lags far behind the goals mandated by Chesapeake Bay cleanup goals. This workgroup is critical to helping form a framework on how to protect tidal wetlands and allow them to adapt to rapidly rising water levels.

I’m Tushar Kansal, Director of the Housing Policy Initiative at The Pew Charitable Trusts. The foremost issue affecting housing costs is a national shortage of 4-7 million homes, including a shortfall of more than 105,000 in Virginia. To address this shortage and improve affordability, some states, like California, Oregon and Washington, have passed laws requiring studies on whether they can safely legalize small apartment buildings of 4-6 stories with one staircase. Being able to build with one staircase instead of using bulkier, two-staircase models means small apartment buildings of those heights can fit on small lots and include family-sized apartments of three or more bedrooms. Wide, deep building layouts that include two staircases and a long corridor prevent apartments from having cross-ventilation or fitting buildings into existing cities and towns with only small lots available. Though the requirement for two staircases and a long corridor stems from concerns about fire safety during an earlier era with more primitive building technology, evidence shows that safety outcomes are no better in places with two-staircase mandates than those without. Countries like Austria, France, and Japan that allow one staircase generally have lower rates of fire death than the U.S. New York City and Seattle allow one staircase for buildings up to six stories, yet New York and Washington states have fewer fire deaths than average, suggesting modern fire-safety measures can make small buildings with one staircase safe. Thank you, and I welcome any questions.
✅ Virginia LCV Bill Positions SUPPORT HB19, HB33, HB357, HB368 OPPOSE HB1363 HB 19 (Ware) - SUPPORT Directs the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to conduct a three-year study of the ecology, fishery impacts, and economic importance of the Atlantic menhaden population in Virginia’s waters. -- Menhaden are a critical species to provide nourishment for other fish targeted by commercial and recreational fishing industries. -- The General Assembly passed SB1388 during the 2023 legislative session, which developed plans for studying menhaden in Virginia’s waters. HB19 would direct VIMS to follow through on conducting the study HB 33 (Clark) - SUPPORT Directs the Commissioner of Health to convene a work group to study the occurrence of microplastics in the Commonwealth's public drinking water. -- As plastic breaks down over thousands of years, it does not go away but rather becomes microplastics–small plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. -- Microplastics are being found in our blood, lungs. Humans consume about a credit card worth of plastic every week. HB 357 (Simonds) - SUPPORT Establishes a work group to evaluate existing approaches to wetland conservation strategies, identify wetlands adaptation areas where tidal wetlands can persist in the landscape, and explore climate’s impact on wetlands’ health and survival. -- Wetlands are among the most productive, diverse, and important ecosystems in Virginia. Both tidal and nontidal wetlands improve water quality, reduce storm damage and flooding, control erosion, provide vital wildlife habitat, and help fight climate change. -- Virginia has already half the wetlands that existed in the 1780s due to development. According to a 2021 report by Climate Central, sea level rise threatens to cause Virginai to lose 42% of existing tidal wetlands by 2100. HB 368 (McClure) - SUPPORT This legislation would convene a stakeholder advisory group to recommend revisions to the Uniform Statewide Building Code regarding allowing multifamily buildings up to 6 stories to be served by a single staircase. -- Changing current regulations to allow single-stair buildings will empower construction of family size apartments and condos more easily and more affordably. -- Single stair construction is used in NYC, Seattle, and across Europe for buildings with a single staircase up to six stories in height. Modern fire safety measures such as fire resistant building materials, sprinkler systems, and secondary fire escapes mitigate fire risk. HB 1363 (O’Quinn) - OPPOSE -- This 2024 legislation is the “study version” of failed attempts in 2022 and 2023 to ban localities from electrifying new building construction–using the same broad language aimed at preventing any local action that “limits, prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting” natural gas service. -- The parameters of the study imply that Virginia’s clean energy transition threatens jobs, revenue, and our national security. -- This study seeks only to measure access to “fuels” methane (natural gas), or propane. It fails to consider whether banks, schools, state and local buildings, transit or telecommunications providers can use non-gas sources to meet their future energy needs. -- Prohibiting building electrification can leave high-density zones vulnerable to gas leaks, result in worsened indoor air quality, and prevent localities from meeting local emissions reductions targets.

We support violence prevention services and the funding of research into gun violence prevention.
As a member of Virginia Moms for Change, I support violence prevention services and the funding of research into gun violence prevention.
Hi, my name is Katie Long from Henrico County, I’m a volunteer from Moms Demand Action, and I support these bills.
I'm a volunteer with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and I support this bill.
The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI) is proud to support House Bill 622 to provide medical assistance services through the creation of a violence prevention benefit. This bill would promote the physical and psychological recovery for survivors of community violence and create a safer Virginia. The HAVI represents over 50 hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) across the United States. We are proud to support programs throughout the commonwealth as partners of the Virginia Hospital-based Violence Intervention Program Collaborative. HAVI member programs provide services to violently injured patients in both health care and community settings. HVIPs vary in the specifics of their design and scope, but typically include immediate intervention in the hospital or emergency department after an injury, followed by intensive, community-based care for approximately one year after discharge. Without intervention, these patients are at high risk for future repeat injuries, retaliatory violence, and mental health consequences such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Research shows HVIPs are effective in reducing patients’ risk of repeat injury, as well as addressing critical needs such as mental health, alcohol and substance misuse, and a variety of other patient-centered outcomes. One randomized control published in the Journal of Trauma found that participants were 84% less likely to return to the hospital with a repeat injury and four times less likely to be convicted of a violent crime. Research shows that Medicaid is the main payer of the medical costs of firearm violence. With that in mind, HB 622 is likely to result in net savings for Virginia’s Medicaid program. Given the high medical costs of treating firearm injuries, this bill would save the commonwealth money if just a small number of shootings are prevented. With or without action, Virginia’s Medicaid program is expected to remain the single largest payer for health care expenses following firearm injuries, highlighting the importance of implementing a preventive strategy. For these reasons, the HAVI respectfully asks for your support of HB 622. Please see the attached pdf for further details describing our support.

Dear Members of the Virginia House Rules Committee, My name is Christopher Milo, and I am a resident of Ashburn, Virginia. I would like to voice my support of House Bill 809 (HB809). The 2020 Virginia Clean Energy Act (VCEA) requires Virginia to transition to renewable energy sources by 2045, necessitating significant investments in the Commonwealth's electricity grid in the coming years. Federal funds will play a crucial role in financing the investments to achieve the VCEA targets. HB809 will ensure that our state maintains continuous visibility over these federal resources and the degree to which utilities operating in Virginia are effectively employing them. In conclusion, House Bill 809 provides the transparency and accountability necessary to ensure that Virginia's electric utilities use federal funds for their intended purpose. I kindly request the members of the Virginia House Rules Committee to support HB809. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Christopher Milo

HB910 On May 23, 2023, Dominion Energy Virginia submitted an Integrated Resource Plan setting out projections for future energy system investments to meet energy demand through 2038. The IRP, based on assumptions of data center growth from PJM and Dominion experts, suggest that demand from data centers will require a massive increase in the energy system. Importantly, the IRP estimated that the increased investment in generation, transmission, and other infrastructure would result in costs of up to $136 billion. According to Dominion, the average ratepayer bill would increase more than 100% to cover these costs. The General Assembly should be concerned that there is no public information to verify energy use or project future energy demand from data centers, even though the impact on the average rate payers over the next 25 years would be more than double. At my home, my average monthly bill is $200. If that were to double to $400 to subsidize data center demand, that would amount to a $2400 annual subsidy over 25 years. more than $40,000 in subsidies to the richest companies in the world. Imagine that every ratepayer provides a similar subsidy. Currently, there is no system for reporting or projecting data center energy use in Virginia. In fact, there is very little transparency around the power usage of this industry although Dominion and PJM (our regional transmission operator) have made it clear that data centers are a significant driver in forecasts showing sky-rocketing power demand. Tracking and publishing this information publicly is fundamental to getting a handle on this issue. It is critical to track power usage and start statewide planning because the cost of transmission and generation infrastructure that will be needed may fall on non-data center ratepayers if changes are not make to the rate structure. Virginian’s need this transparency to ensure we are not blindly subsidizing the infrastructure needs of the largest companies in the world or forfeiting the states climate initiatives.

Throughout the years, I've often heard of the stories of promises of fairness being made to African Americans yet unkept even today. I'll also reflect on conversations about black family ancestors' properties being handed over due to fear of legal repercussions, having little or no choice but to relinquish their land, fearing the acquisition through "eminent domain" claims, or the possibility of some other loophole to justify the seizure of the property. There may be some who perceive this bill as being just about standing up for land owners, yet it goes deeper than that. I see an opportunity to right the wrongs of the past. Pushback, along with rejections of the pleas to prevent actions perceived as yet another form of gentification with the expansions of universities, etc., even in these times, are reminiscent once again of the erasure of a culture, which I'll refer to as the village (our community), which once existed. Within our villages were our blood family members, our community family, and the homes that provided the resources and a gathering space if needed. Such actions have also erased history and served as a reminder of the black villagers who stood together during the most trying of times. As the current black generations still await reaping the benefits of promises made to our ancestors that have not been received, I wholeheartedly support this bill. We must preserve communities such as the aforementioned by ensuring and preventing the ills of this Commonwealth's past or by being deliberate in mandating options for maximum compensation. Today, I stand to remind all that not only does justice start with "just us" unifying to ensure rightful and just practices, but also "just you" being a Committee of Change to eliminate the historic patterns of unjust practices. Thank you in advance for your time and support for this bill.
I am in support of HB 1066; to establish a Commission to Study “History of Uprooting Black Communities by Public Institutions of Higher Education. In the mid-1900s, Blacks owned over 20 million acres of land in the US. During the 60s and 70s Blacks began losing land at an alarming rate to corporations, governments, land developers and educational institutions; and have lost an estimated 90% of their land. Their land was snatched from them through various property schemes such as tax sales, eminent domain, encumbrances and the Torrens Act. People and institutions have enriched themselves from Black land thefts, creating an inequality in Black wealth. This study is important to assess the acquisition of land by educational institutions; where in Richmond for example VCU Schools and Medical Center expanded into Richmond’s downtown Black neighborhoods and Black burial grounds.
I support HB1066. It is disgusting and should be illegal for anyone to take peoples' land or homes without sufficient compensation. This bill seeks to understand the displacement of Black people, often from growing middle-class neighborhoods. These people were often forced into lower-income neighborhoods, losing acquired wealth, because they were not fairly compensated for their property. Often white neighborhoods were also available, but they were not bothered. This stolen wealth should be returned, and this bill can help determine how that can happen.

Regarding HB1233 Virginia is one, of if not the most, the beautiful states in the country and we must do everything in our power to protect it One of my favorite bumper stickers is “Farmland Lost Is Farmland Lost Forever”. I believe this is true of dirt roads. If we pave every road, we encourage more building and before you know it we become a land of tarmac. How are our children and grandchildren going to breathe fresh air, eat fresh food and live a healthy life? Please let the local governments decide which roads to pave. Then, I hope they do the right thing. Thank you, Bundles

✅ Virginia LCV Bill Positions SUPPORT HB19, HB33, HB357, HB368 OPPOSE HB1363 HB 19 (Ware) - SUPPORT Directs the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to conduct a three-year study of the ecology, fishery impacts, and economic importance of the Atlantic menhaden population in Virginia’s waters. -- Menhaden are a critical species to provide nourishment for other fish targeted by commercial and recreational fishing industries. -- The General Assembly passed SB1388 during the 2023 legislative session, which developed plans for studying menhaden in Virginia’s waters. HB19 would direct VIMS to follow through on conducting the study HB 33 (Clark) - SUPPORT Directs the Commissioner of Health to convene a work group to study the occurrence of microplastics in the Commonwealth's public drinking water. -- As plastic breaks down over thousands of years, it does not go away but rather becomes microplastics–small plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. -- Microplastics are being found in our blood, lungs. Humans consume about a credit card worth of plastic every week. HB 357 (Simonds) - SUPPORT Establishes a work group to evaluate existing approaches to wetland conservation strategies, identify wetlands adaptation areas where tidal wetlands can persist in the landscape, and explore climate’s impact on wetlands’ health and survival. -- Wetlands are among the most productive, diverse, and important ecosystems in Virginia. Both tidal and nontidal wetlands improve water quality, reduce storm damage and flooding, control erosion, provide vital wildlife habitat, and help fight climate change. -- Virginia has already half the wetlands that existed in the 1780s due to development. According to a 2021 report by Climate Central, sea level rise threatens to cause Virginai to lose 42% of existing tidal wetlands by 2100. HB 368 (McClure) - SUPPORT This legislation would convene a stakeholder advisory group to recommend revisions to the Uniform Statewide Building Code regarding allowing multifamily buildings up to 6 stories to be served by a single staircase. -- Changing current regulations to allow single-stair buildings will empower construction of family size apartments and condos more easily and more affordably. -- Single stair construction is used in NYC, Seattle, and across Europe for buildings with a single staircase up to six stories in height. Modern fire safety measures such as fire resistant building materials, sprinkler systems, and secondary fire escapes mitigate fire risk. HB 1363 (O’Quinn) - OPPOSE -- This 2024 legislation is the “study version” of failed attempts in 2022 and 2023 to ban localities from electrifying new building construction–using the same broad language aimed at preventing any local action that “limits, prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting” natural gas service. -- The parameters of the study imply that Virginia’s clean energy transition threatens jobs, revenue, and our national security. -- This study seeks only to measure access to “fuels” methane (natural gas), or propane. It fails to consider whether banks, schools, state and local buildings, transit or telecommunications providers can use non-gas sources to meet their future energy needs. -- Prohibiting building electrification can leave high-density zones vulnerable to gas leaks, result in worsened indoor air quality, and prevent localities from meeting local emissions reductions targets.

The Virginia Litter Tax funds Virginia’s Litter Control and Recycling Fund which generates the lowest revenue per capita of any state using a similar system. Had the tax been adjusted for inflation (or indexed to automatically rise with inflation) they would now be $37 and $73. The litter tax is a necessary tool to fund litter prevention programs and removal of litter once it has reached the environment. This tax supports community clean ups, youth education, solid waste infrastructure, and other valuable programs. 71% of registered Virginia Voters support shifting the costs of recycling programs off of community taxpayers and onto producers to clean up and prevent litter which the Litter Tax could better do. Litter composition has drastically changed since the original litter studies in Virginia completed in the 1970s. The most common items found in 1976 and 1979 were aluminum cans. Today, beverage containers of varied materials are found, with the most common being plastic. Plastic items of all types now dominate Virginia’s litter makeup yet this shift has yet to be considered into how the Litter Tax is funded. The Litter Tax is out of date. The tax has not been adjusted for inflation nor changed as the influx and make up of litter has changed. The Litter Tax focuses primarily on cleaning up litter from the environment rather than reducing consumption and increasing reuse or recycling of products. Studying the litter tax and recycling infrastructure in Virginia will provide critical insights into recycling shortcomings and opportunities for system improvements. Currently the Litter Tax system does not incentivize recycling for consumers or recyclable content for producers. Producers are not paying their fair share for the waste management of their products. Examining the Litter Tax will provide the opportunity to examine solutions that would shift costs to producers based on the materials and recyclablity of their products. Virginia’s mechanical recycling infrastructure is in need of support. A thorough analysis of Virginia’s true recycling infrastructure and market barriers will enable the Commonwealth to identify opportunities and new markets that support a circular economy. HJ 35 fulfills several actions in the Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan which recognizes the need to increase funding for Virginia’s Litter Control and Recycling Fund as well as identify policy opportunities to reduce litter through source reduction and improved recycling systems. The 2021-2025 Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan serves as a framework for strategic action and a roadmap for reducing consumer debris, derelict fishing gear, microplastics, and abandoned and derelict vessels in Virginia. The VMDRP was developed through a collaborative and participatory process by Virginia’s Coastal Zone Management Program
Members of the House Committee on Rules: Studies Subcommittee, Clean Fairfax support HJ 35. The Virginia Litter Control and Recycling Fund, supported by the litter tax, is one of the most successful programs in the Commonwealth despite the fact that it generates the lowest revenue per capita of any state using a litter tax system. Had the litter tax been adjusted for inflation (or indexed to automatically rise with inflation) they would now be $37 and $73. The litter tax is a necessary tool to fund litter prevention programs and removal of litter once it has reached the environment. This tax supports community clean ups, youth education, solid waste infrastructure, and other valuable programs. Plastic production has increased over 700% since the implementation of Virginia’s litter tax. The increase in plastic production has drastically changed litter composition since the original litter studies in Virginia completed in the 1970s. The most common items found in 1976 and 1979 were aluminum cans. Today, beverage containers of varied materials are found, with the most common item Clean Fairfax finds in our stream monitoring as well as community cleanups being plastic. Plastic items of all types now dominate Virginia’s litter makeup, yet this shift has yet to be considered into how the Litter Tax is funded. This study will enable Virginia’s Litter Control and Recycling Fund to adjust to the realities and changes of modern society. Virginia’s mechanical recycling infrastructure is in need of support, localities in the Commonwealth are struggling to maintain their recycling programs. A thorough analysis of Virginia’s true recycling infrastructure and market barriers will enable the Commonwealth to identify opportunities and new markets that support a circular economy. HJ 35 fulfills several actions in the Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan which recognizes the need to increase funding for Virginia’s Litter Control and Recycling Fund as well as identify policy opportunities to reduce litter through source reduction and improved recycling systems. The 2021-2025 Virginia Marine Debris Reduction Plan serves as a framework for strategic action and a roadmap for reducing consumer debris, derelict fishing gear, microplastics, and abandoned and derelict vessels in Virginia. The VMDRP was developed through a collaborative and participatory process by Virginia’s Coastal Zone Management Program. We hope it is the will of the Subcommittee to vote yes for this study.
HJ35 - Litter tax This measure should be passed. Virginia streams like Accotink Creek are awash in litter and trash. Volunteer cleanups are not sufficient to reduce the problem. Season after season, our volunteers spend countless hours struggling to collect the rubbish that flows off paved surfaces into our creek, yet in the end feel they have hardly made a dent. We need help. We need to do more.

Support HJ36! Local communities and their residents deserve to have easy mechanisms to purchase clean, renewable affordable energy through Community Choice Aggregation or other mechanisms not controlled by the local utility monopoly. CCAs throughout the country have served to accelerate the move to clean, renewable energy, provide price stability, and promote energy efficiency programs for their customers. Under Virginia law CCAs are authorized but no jurisdiction has opted to do so. A study to identify and recommend remedies to creating CCAs as well as similar mechanisms would facilitate greater choice for individuals and communities in sourcing its electricity, greater competition, and lower prices. With the cost of renewable energy falling and now more than competitive with fossil fuel based electricity generation, both consumers and the climate will benefit. I personally want this choice for my electricity.
Please see attached for a letter in support of HJ 36. The body of the letter is below. Honorable Chair Scott and Member of the House Rules Committee, We would like to encourage your Committee to move this legislation forward. The Commonwealth of Virginia has clean energy goals that will support a strong economy, job growth, and ambitious climate goals. Additionally, Virginia code allows for municipal aggregation. An analysis of the barriers to implementation of these important goals is a critical next step. As the Commonwealth clearly envisioned and as we’ve seen in nearly a dozen other states, enabling energy retail choice is a successful way to achieve clean energy goals while benefiting consumers with cost competitiveness. Allowing local governments to aggregate the energy load of their constituents and procure energy on their behalf is proven to be the most protective of constituents and the most inclusive of all families and businesses. I led the formation and launch of San Diego Community Power (SDCP), now the second largest community choice energy program in California. In just a few short years, it is financially sustainable, generating millions in excess revenue that are invested directly back into the community, and is providing cleaner energy than the local investor-owned utility at competitive rates. This is a common theme amongst communities that are embracing the community choice aggregation model. Bridging the gap between the goals of the Commonwealth and the clean energy goals of your local governments, including Prince Henry and Loudoun Counties, and the barriers to achieving those goals begins with this study bill. We applaud your Committee in navigating this complex topic to push forward progress in a timely manner. The opportunity to help control one component of the ever rising cost of living for Commonwealth families and businesses and to support the economic opportunity that energy choice provides is an easy win. Thank you for your consideration of such an important bill. Please contact me if I can be of assistance. Sincerely, Cody Hooven Principal & Co-founder cody@evolutionaffairs.com
Support HJ36. It should be easy for residents to purchase clean, renewable affordable energy through Community Choice Aggregation or other mechanisms not controlled by the local utility monopoly. CCAs accelerate the move to clean, renewable energy, provide price stability, and promote energy efficiency programs for customers. A study to identify and recommend remedies to creating CCAs would facilitate greater choice for individuals and communities in sourcing its electricity, greater competition, and lower prices. I would make use of this choice in a heartbeat to promote clean energy!

With the cost of renewable energy falling and nor more then competitive with fossil fuel based energy for electricity generation, both consumers and the climate will benefit. I personally want this choice for my electricity.
I am writing in support of HJ 36 regarding clean energy purchases. I live in one of the smaller jurisdictions in the state, Falls Church, population under 16,000. To meet its climate goals, City government is working with neighboring jurisdictions to explore “Virtual Power Purchase Agreements,” or vPPAs. These entail some financial risk. Access to HJ 36’s state-level review of obstacles and risks, made available statewide, could jumpstart and avoid duplication of study efforts by localities. When looking to help constituents access clean energy through municipal aggregation (§ 56-589) or vPPA’s, small- and mid-size jurisdictions can face a prohibitively expensive first step simply to study the risks and details of these approaches. Here again, access to a state-developed overview of the obstacles would be valuable to many municipalities, especially if the State Corporation Commission weighs in, as requested in HJ 36.
Please vote "YES" on HJ36. • Local governments throughout the commonwealth are trying to reduce their carbon emissions to do their part in the fight against climate change. • In Prince William County - as in most counties and cities who have analyzed options - the approach that could reduce emissions the most is to vastly expand access to carbon-free electricity. • Local governments can contract for carbon-free electricity through a process known as “municipal aggregation.” The VA code has allowed this since 1999. • Now that clean energy is cheaper and more readily available, the market conditions are ripe for widespread adoption of this practice. • Now that data centers are coming on-line and dramatically increasing both electricity demand and carbon emissions, municipal aggregation would be even more helpful in accelerating the transition to clean energy. • However, even though several local govts are interested in using municipal aggregation, there are significant legal and regulatory barriers. As a result, no local governments have yet adopted municipal aggregation. • A statewide study is needed to figure out how to lower the barriers. This study would support not only local carbon goals, but the VCEA, and it would be a huge step in reconciling the economic development benefits of data centers with the need to reduce carbon emissions. Thank you for your consideration. Please reach out to me if you'd like more info.

Alexandria is a vibrant city based on history, culture, a waterfront and lots of tourism. If Virginia has money and space to build an arena then you have money and space to build new schools. Our school system is deplorable. It’s overcrowded. Think of your citizens before thinking about your quick money grab that eventually leads to an inevitable loss. We don’t want or need an arena. This is pure greed.

Comments Document
✅ Virginia LCV Bill Positions SUPPORT HB19, HB33, HB357, HB368 OPPOSE HB1363 HB 19 (Ware) - SUPPORT Directs the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) to conduct a three-year study of the ecology, fishery impacts, and economic importance of the Atlantic menhaden population in Virginia’s waters. -- Menhaden are a critical species to provide nourishment for other fish targeted by commercial and recreational fishing industries. -- The General Assembly passed SB1388 during the 2023 legislative session, which developed plans for studying menhaden in Virginia’s waters. HB19 would direct VIMS to follow through on conducting the study HB 33 (Clark) - SUPPORT Directs the Commissioner of Health to convene a work group to study the occurrence of microplastics in the Commonwealth's public drinking water. -- As plastic breaks down over thousands of years, it does not go away but rather becomes microplastics–small plastic particles less than five millimeters in size. -- Microplastics are being found in our blood, lungs. Humans consume about a credit card worth of plastic every week. HB 357 (Simonds) - SUPPORT Establishes a work group to evaluate existing approaches to wetland conservation strategies, identify wetlands adaptation areas where tidal wetlands can persist in the landscape, and explore climate’s impact on wetlands’ health and survival. -- Wetlands are among the most productive, diverse, and important ecosystems in Virginia. Both tidal and nontidal wetlands improve water quality, reduce storm damage and flooding, control erosion, provide vital wildlife habitat, and help fight climate change. -- Virginia has already half the wetlands that existed in the 1780s due to development. According to a 2021 report by Climate Central, sea level rise threatens to cause Virginai to lose 42% of existing tidal wetlands by 2100. HB 368 (McClure) - SUPPORT This legislation would convene a stakeholder advisory group to recommend revisions to the Uniform Statewide Building Code regarding allowing multifamily buildings up to 6 stories to be served by a single staircase. -- Changing current regulations to allow single-stair buildings will empower construction of family size apartments and condos more easily and more affordably. -- Single stair construction is used in NYC, Seattle, and across Europe for buildings with a single staircase up to six stories in height. Modern fire safety measures such as fire resistant building materials, sprinkler systems, and secondary fire escapes mitigate fire risk. HB 1363 (O’Quinn) - OPPOSE -- This 2024 legislation is the “study version” of failed attempts in 2022 and 2023 to ban localities from electrifying new building construction–using the same broad language aimed at preventing any local action that “limits, prohibits or has the effect of prohibiting” natural gas service. -- The parameters of the study imply that Virginia’s clean energy transition threatens jobs, revenue, and our national security. -- This study seeks only to measure access to “fuels” methane (natural gas), or propane. It fails to consider whether banks, schools, state and local buildings, transit or telecommunications providers can use non-gas sources to meet their future energy needs. -- Prohibiting building electrification can leave high-density zones vulnerable to gas leaks, result in worsened indoor air quality, and prevent localities from meeting local emissions reductions targets.

I support this bill, not because it's the best thing to do, or the right thing to do, but because it's the only thing there seems to be any bravery to do. I would rather you stop bending over for an industry that has been degrading our prized jewel, the Chesapeake, for the past 150 years, and instead tell them to suck it up, put on their big boy pants and go fish in the ocean like every other reduction fleet across the globe. - Dale William Neal
Though I am a Shenandoah Valley resident, I am a Northampton County native and property owner. I spend a great deal of time on the Chesapeake Bay and have for my entire life. I have seen firsthand the impact of the loss of menhaden on osprey and fish species, including dolphin. I am sad that my grandchildren don't experience the same interactions with the Bay that I have had my entire life, fishing and watching all the wildlife that depend on menhaden. The menhaden reduction industry cannot continue depleting the Bay in Virginia waters.
I support HB19 and encourage its passage. Evidence-based science is essential to making informed decisions about the menhaden industry in the Chesapeake Bay. We cannot continue to witness plummeting numbers of surviving osprey young while taking no action.
I support this legislation which is necessary and long overdue. Virginia must take full responsibility for managing this public resource while protecting the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. This is an opportunity to do the right thing. Take it.
Please support this bill. We need some real science to prove that Menhaden are being overfished in the bay
Please keep Omega out of the bay. They are destroying the entire bay fishing industry. I have personally watch the by catch and how it has Decimated the recreational and commercial fishing.
Please keep Omega out of the bay. They are destroying the entire bay fishing industry. I have personally watch the by catch and how it has Decimated the recreational and commercial fishing.
Mismanagement of the industrial harvesting of menhaden has led to a state of ecological and economic disaster for the Virginia and Maryland recreational fishing industry. This is not just the charter boats, but the folks who want to go out and catch some fish for dinner. The Chesapeake Bay is the gateway to numerous rivers, so the impact is widespread. It appears that this type of harvesting is also damaging the bottom of the Bay, which is not good. It is also leading to the starvation of osprey in the main stem of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia waters. Industrial harvesting needs to be halted immediately and not wait on a multi-year study. I fully support the ability of the local watermen to catch menhaden for sale to the local market.
I strongly urge a non biased review of the impact of Omega over fishing the bay for menhaden. I also feel restitution is warranted to replace the impacted grasses on the bottom from sein nets destruction.
Comments Document
With amendments, I would support HB 19 and the menhaden study. Most importantly, a moratorium moving the industrial fishing out of state waters until science can catch is imperative. If enacted as it is written, it would take 6-7 years before the study was approved, funded, conducted and completed. We know based on our personal observations, scientific data, etc. that the Bay can’t wait. Many years ago Omega Protein negotiated with the State of VA to be allowed to fish in the bay during inclement weather when ocean fishing would be too dangerous. Fast forward until about 2021 when Omega/Ocean Harvesters exceeded the Bay Cap. Then VMRC Chairman Bowen sent a letter notifying of the violation and pointing out that they should be fishing in the bay only during inclement weather. The response back to Chairman Bowen was that exceeding the limit was a business decision and aid that the fish in the bay now for a number of reasons including economics. All the while the bay and my community suffer in many ways. When I fished with my young children from Silver Beach, I dreamed of the day I’d be doing the same thing with my grandchildren. That dream has been taken from me thanks to a pattern of inaction by the legislature, the Governor’s office, VMRC, and ASMF to stop the concentrated depletion of menhaden in the Chesapeake. The neighborhood children, my grands, and I do go down and give it a try but the fish are gone and my sweet grandchildren who are always excited to see the old pictures of fish their moms and dads caught get justifiably bored. There are no schools of menhaden to be seen, and our resident Osprey and heron are gone, shockingly few pelicans and sea birds this year, and very few dolphin. Any study must also include Maryland as the water and fish know no boundaries. Northampton County, VA Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a resolution asking the Governor, VMRC, and ASMFC to prohibit industrial menhaden reduction fishing from VA state waters. You have been provided with a copy by our county office. Please review and consider the hardship on the residents of our rural county. We can’t be expected to suffer financially with Omega prospering at our expense. So yes…if there’s a moratorium until the study is complete, and if Maryland is included.

I support this menhaden study Bill for several reasons: these fish are being depleted from the bay at an alarming rate, which is impacting striped bass, osprey and a number of other important species in the area. we believe these large industrial nets do not belong in the shallow waters of the Chesapeake Bay, and we believe it is doing harm to the bottom structures as well. Whenever we raise these issues, the industry states “there is no science to support your concerns.” Now this bill will give us some of the science necessary to prove that our concerns are accurate. It should be noted that the industry was part of a group that created the study plan yet they are now lobbying against this bill. The truth is they do not want science because they fear what it will tell us. Sadly, some of our politicians are bought and paid for by the industry and that’s why this damaging fishery has continued for so long. This fishery is outlawed by every other state on the East Coast. It should also be noted that our governor has stacked the board at VMRC with friends of the industry. This is simply shameful.
I support HB19. Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission and the Commonwealth of Virginia have never studied the population dynamics of menhaden within the Chesapeake Bay. There are no studies that have shown the population in various regions of the Bay, how the fish utilize the creeks, and how the osprey are dependent upon the menhaden. Although there seems to be a lot of menhaden out in the ocean, there is a clear deficit within the Bay and nobody knows why or how that came to be. Menhaden loss seems to be the main reason for the osprey nesting failure. The VIMS study is a good start to getting the information needed to make good decisions for the people of Virginia, decisions that consider all of the various interests and needs, ecosystem services, impacted communities, and economics. If Virginia does not do this study, I would not be surprised if ASMFC funded a study using a different set of researchers.
I support the funding of this menhaden study bill HB19. My personal realization of the loss of menhaden was during my regular activities kayaking, swimming and sailing on the bay and it tributaries. Over the past couple of decades I was wondered by the great return of eagles, ospreys and pelicans to the Chesapeake. It has become a real symbol that we must finally be doing something right by the bay, and our efforts, and all the hundreds of millions of dollars spent are paying off. I have been greatly dismayed over the last two seasons by the sudden lack of chicks in Osprey nests, and many abandon nests where Osprey families normally thrived. Something has changed. I started researching 4 months ago. I realize that with water pollution, rising water temperatures, eel grass loss, and the invasive blue cat, the bay is under enormous pressure. We seem to be at a tipping point. I have heard many people talk about massive bird cyclones they used to see over vast schools of menhaden, but have not seen in years. How can you continue to extract the number one source of protein that almost every Virginia marine species depends on, and expect good things to happen. The Menhaden Reduction Fishing Issue Menhaden are the keystone prey species in Virginia waters. The majority of Virginia’s marine mammals, seabirds, and saltwater predatory fish depend on them for survival. The reduction fishing industry has been extracting this primary source of protein out of the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia coastal waters for 150 years. The bounty of Virginia's marine ecosystems and resources has never being fully realized due to this antiquated practice of slaughtering billions of wild menhaden for industrial purposes. Virginia is the only Atlantic Coast state that still allows reduction fishing in their near shore coastal waters. Tens of thousands of Virginians depend economically on a healthy marine ecosystem in the recreational, tourism, and traditional watermen industries. Thousands of working class Virginians depend on a healthy fish population to put a subsistence level of protein on their table through shoreline fishing. Yes, the economics of Northumberland County do matter, but should they continue to outweigh the economics of all other Virginians? What could be achieved if menhaden were given the breathing room to thrive? Goals: 1. Restrict reduction fishing to Federal waters (U.S. EEZ 3+ miles offshore). 2. Support a healthy menhaden bait fishery. Have the Virginia Marine Resources Commission manage for maximum abundance, not minimal sustainability. Learn More. Go to www.SaveOurMenhaden.org. Google "menhaden reduction fishing" I will leave you with this. In talking with a legislative aid as well as one of the executives at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation it seems that Omega Protein representatives have be working legislators to quietly kill this bill. Obviously they would have been talking with many of you, so you would know what the truth is on this matter. Do you not find this hypocritical? To publicly participate in the lead up to this study last year, then to privately ask to kill it this year. Omega Protein is probably fully aware of the issues in the bay. We have watched them online struggle to find menhaden schools, they worked many weekends and overtime this season and still didn't meet their quota. Why do they not want anyone else to know what the real situation is?
