[CORRECTION TO PREVIOUS COMMENT SUBMITTED] Altagracia Kubinyi, Virginia Organizer, National Domestic Workers Alliance - Virginia and Care in Action I previously submitted a comment that was incorrectly submitted as a comment for HB5. Please ignore this previous comment, as it was intended to be submitted as a comment for SB 199 but was accidentally uploaded as a comment for HB5. The comment below supersedes my earlier submission. The National Domestic Workers Alliance - Virginia and Care in Action strongly support HB5. Paid sick days are a matter of basic rights and dignity, no one should have to choose between going to work and caring for a loved one. I live in Arlington, and before my current role as an organizer, in the years I worked as a nanny and home care worker, I knew personally what it was like to worry about my ability to take time off when I was sick because I was not guaranteed pay for days I did not work. HB5 recognizes the tremendous contributions domestic workers make to this country by ensuring that the definition of employee in the bill ensures that all workers, including those who work at a workplace with 1 or more employees, receive paid sick days when this law goes into effect. Many domestic workers are the only employee at their workplace, and they need paid sick days as much as all other workers. We celebrate that this bill ensures that domestic workers and other workers at small workplaces will receive the right of paid sick days at the same time as other workers. We enthusiastically hope to see this bill be passed and urge the Senate to adopt the language in this bill over the language currently in SB199.

My name is Altagracia Kubinyi. I live in Arlington, I work as an organizer at the National Domestic Workers Alliance in Virginia and before that I spent years working as a nanny, and as a homecare worker. It is a matter of basic fairness, dignity and public health for domestic workers to have access to paid sick days. We support this bill and strongly support the creation of paid sick days for Virginia workers, but are deeply concerned about some of the language in the bill. The definition of employee in this bill should not phase in sick days based on the number of employees at a workplace. This is a sector of primarily women of color who have been left out of basic labor protections for decades and this bill currently would further exclude them and other workers at small workplaces who need paid sick days just as much as the rest of us. The redrafted language also removes the use of paid sick leave for care of a family member – this is often the most common reason that workers need time off from work to take care of a family member. Lastly, we oppose the change of an employee needing to make the request for sick leave in writing as opposed to orally. Many domestic workers face retaliation and are afraid to ask their employers for their basic rights. Some are not able to read and write, including in a language that the employer speaks. They still deserve paid sick days, and having to make the request in writing presents a significant barrier to workers actually accessing this benefit. Let this be the year where Virginians no longer have to make the impossible choice between their health and their paycheck and let’s make sure this bill language gives domestic workers and all other workers the strongest possible guarantee of sick leave.

See attached testimony.

Paid sick leave is critically important for everyone's health. It is critical for public health, as we saw during the COVID-19 pandemic. Paid sick days reduce the spread of infections and allow workers the freedom to seek treatment for conditions before they become emergencies. Paid sick leave is also good for the economy, reducing labor turnover, improving productivity, and preventing on-the-job injuries. Mandating paid sick leave will help reduce gender and racial disparities in the workplace. This legislation should be adopted and implemented immediately!

Comments Document

The National Partnership for Women & Families appreciates the opportunity to submit testimony in support of HB 5. HB 5 is an opportunity for Virginia to ensure no worker is forced to choose between their paycheck and caring for themself or their loved ones. We respectfully urge a favorable report on the bill.

To the Chairman as well as Labor and Commerce Subcommittee #2, Attached is my formal written submission on behalf of Main Street Alliance in SUPPORT of HB 5 to implement paid sick days in Virginia. Best, Lauren Bealore National Director of Policy & Programs, Main Street Alliance

VA Association of Personal Care Providers, opposes HB-5 if it is not funded, However, as we discussed with several legislators at Our day on the Hill yesterday Jan 21 if not funded Agency Directed personal care providers would have to pay multiple employees to cover a patient while DMAS reimburses for only 1 employee when services are performed. Since we are a reimbursement driven model, this would create a financial hardship that would lead to agencies shuttering doors; placing employment, and Patient access to care in jeopardy for 100’s of thousands of people across the commonwealth.

As a provider of Medicaid-funded personal care services, we support the intent of this bill. The continuity and security of our workforce has a direct impact on the continuity and security of the seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities we serve. That being said, home care agencies cannot bill for services we do not provide, and Medicaid rates for Personal Care (T1019) are already too low. (The 2025 Guidehouse Rate Study mandated in 2025 recommended increases of greater than 40%, making it clear that rate relief is already clearly needed.) We, as provider members of the Virginia Association of Personal Care Providers (VAPCP), are asking that the General Assembly recognize the additional gap in funding that this bill in its current form would create and provide the financial support needed to ensure access to care and to recruit and retain high-quality caregivers. Thank you for taking our comments and for your work for the people of Virginia, whom we all serve.

The Virginia Association of Personal Care Providers must oppose HB-5 without funding. Personal care providers rely on a largely hourly, direct-care workforce and operate under fixed reimbursement rates set by the Commonwealth. Unlike other industries, providers cannot adjust pricing to absorb new mandates. Without additional funding, a paid sick leave requirement creates immediate and unfunded costs, including paying sick leave while also paying replacement caregivers to ensure continuity of care. These added costs strain already thin margins, limit agencies’ ability to accept new clients, and risk service disruptions for vulnerable Virginians who depend on in-home care to remain safely at home. We urge the General Assembly to advance HB-5 with an understanding of its real-world impact on personal care providers and to ensure that any new mandate is paired with adequate funding so providers can comply while continuing to deliver essential services.

To the delegates in Labor and Commerce Subcommittee #2, As a young, hourly worker, I urge the committee to support HB5. Paid sick leave is a vital part of a functioning society and economy that should extend to all workers, not just salaried ones. Giving workers the ability to rest when sick and, crucially, prevent spreading their illness to their coworkers or clients not only benefits not only workers themselves but also society as a whole. We could prevent a lot of illness and improve overall productivity in the long run by encouraging workers to stay home and rest when sick so they recover faster and prevent spreading contagious disease. Passing HB5 will help support hourly workers make decisions that improve public health and long-term economic productivity. Sincerely, Rebecca Whitten

I strongly support expanding paid sick leave to all employees. We saw with covid that many lower-paid employees were unable to take leave during the pandemic, spreading the contagious illness through our communities due to the perverse incentives built into our labor laws. We should be encouraging people to take care of their family or time off when they are sick with the flu or covid. It is perverse that we have a structure where illness is almost encourage to spread due to the structures our society has implemented around leave in Virginia. Paid sick leave is good for the economy, reducing labor turnover, improving productivity, and preventing on-the-job injuries.

Paid sick leave is one of the most important rights for workers. People are people, they can get sick. Even machines go out of service! Please guarantee paid sick leaves. Thanks

I urge the subcommittee to approve HB5. As we learned during the (still ongoing) COVID-19 pandemic, paid sick leave saves lives. It is not merely a perk or a benefit, but a critical public health measure that reduces disease transmission rates while helping alleviate racial, gender, and income disparities. Paid sick leave is also good for businesses and the economy - improving productivity, reducing workplace injuries, and lowering labor turnover. HB5 is a win-win-win for Virginia's workers, businesses, and public health.

I strongly support this bill because contracted Community Health Workers (CHWs) currently lack basic workplace protections, including access to paid sick leave. As a result, many CHWs—particularly those compensated on a fee-for-service or contract basis—are forced to choose between their health and their income. As is widely acknowledged in our profession, “at times we are just a paycheck away from being our clients.” CHWs are frontline public health workers who bridge systems of care and community need. We work with individuals and families experiencing chronic illness, mental health challenges, housing instability, domestic violence, and economic insecurity. Denying paid sick leave to workers in these roles undermines both worker well-being and public health outcomes. When CHWs cannot afford to take time off to recover from illness or address family emergencies, it increases burnout, turnover, and the risk of harm to the very communities we are trusted to serve. This bill meaningfully addresses these gaps by: Expanding paid sick leave coverage beyond home health workers to all employees, including those employed on fee-for-service arrangements. Ensuring continuity of accrued sick leave during transfers or under successor employers—critical in a workforce characterized by grant-funded and contract-based employment. Recognizing that paid sick leave must also support survivors of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and stalking, aligning labor policy with trauma-informed practice. Establishing clear enforcement mechanisms and penalties, which are essential for accountability and compliance. While limited waivers are permitted for certain health care workers, the bill appropriately balances flexibility with worker protections and includes a delayed effective date to allow employers time to prepare. In short, this legislation affirms that the workers who care for our communities deserve care and protection themselves. Paid sick leave is not a luxury—it is a foundational labor standard that promotes health, stability, and dignity. I urge full support and passage of this bill.

I am writing in support of HB 20. I am a farm operator/manager for a 23-acre vegetable operation and corresponding 500+ acre pasture raised pork, beef, chicken and egg operation. We have 20 employees. Our starting rate for local workers is around $17/hour and our starting rate for H2A is $16/hour. It is my belief that farm workers ARE farmers. Any politician claiming to be helping farmers should be helping farm workers, not just farm owners. Paying above-minimum-wage rates is not an unreasonable amount for farm businesses to be investing into quality skilled labor. In my 15 years of experience as a farmer, I have found that the better wages we are able to offer, the better quality workers we can attract and the better retention we can have. I believe that farm workers deserve fair wages that can support them and their households.

Promotores de Salud (also known as CHWs) working in Virginia's agricultural regions support farmworkers and their families through health education, outreach, and navigation. Their work is strengthened when farmworkers experience economic stability and fair labor standards. This bill helps advance those goals by eliminating minimum wage exemptions for farm laborers and certain temporary foreign workers. Ensuring consistent wage protections across sectors supports household stability, improves health outcomes, and reduces barriers that Promotores de Salud regularly encounter in their work. We support this legislation as a measured step toward more equitable wage standards that reflect the essential role agricultural workers play in Virginia’s economy and communities.

On behalf of REV UP Virginia I am pleased to endorse HB 54. Internships are an excellent pathway to gainful employment for young adults with disabilities. Coordination of internships requires the time and attention of a professional who is knowledgeable of accommodations needed to support an individual toward exercising his or her abilities and skills to the fullest in the given work setting. Persons with disabilities face numerous barriers to achieving gainful employment. A designated internship coordinator with such knowledge would be a significant step forward for the Commonwealth toward support of gainful employment of persons with disabilities. Therefore REV UP Virginia strongly supports HB 54.

On behalf of the Virginia Young Democrats Disability Caucus, we'd like to express our full support and endorsement for HB 54! We are endorsing HB 54 because only 38% of working-age people with disabilities in the U.S. are employed, far below the rate for people without disabilities. This bill strengthens employment opportunities in our Commonwealth, and helps allow disabled youth the opportunity to serve their state, and most importantly- have a clear pathway to gainful employment.

Drive Electric RVA supports HB 324, which would create a fund to support the development of electric vehicle charging stations in rural and low-income communities. By providing incentives to build fueling infrastructure in these communities, this bill would broaden access to EV technology. Otherwise, many people will be left out of the EV revolution that is happening in Virginia as the major changing station operators focus their attention on metro areas with dense concentrations of retail and high-income consumers.

Environment Virginia is a non-profit organization with thousands of members across Virginia. Protecting and conserving Virginia’s wonderful natural lands, waters, and wildlife are priorities to us and our members. We thank Delegate McAuliff for introducing HB500 and express our support for it. Establishing state parks is an effective strategy for conserving Virginia’s natural beauty amidst rapid development. As a conservation tool, parks offer protection to natural ecosystems, allowing them to maintain a healthy, interconnected environment away from significant human development. They are also massively beneficial to us, providing both wonderful hiking trails that help improve physical and mental health, and educational opportunities for children and adults alike. As Northern Virginia rapidly develops, protecting open spaces and wildlife habitats is more important than ever, especially in places with strong historical and cultural significance. The Conservation Fund purchased this land not only to conserve the valuable history, but the lush wilderness surrounding it. The 1200 acre parcel of land encompasses farmlands, forests and meadows that hold safe habitats for wildlife to thrive in. By accepting this land from The Conservation Fund and establishing a state park, we can protect these crucial habitats and allow for Virginians and tourists to bask in the land’s beauty and learn from the past. HB500 will protect Oak Hill for future generations to come, allowing them to experience Virginia’s natural beauty and learn from the history that happened there. We urge you to support HB500.

Please see a supportive one-pager from the Healthier Virignia School Bus Coalition attached

The Healthier Virginia School Buses Coalition, which includes Virignia Clinicians for Climate Action, Faith Alliance for Climate Solutions, Moms Clean Air Force, Mothers Out Front, Highland, Electrification Coalition, Generation180, Chesapeak Climate Action Network Action Fund and the Southern Environmental Law center, supports Del. Bulova's HB1340 and supports state funding in the FY27/28 budget for the Virginia Electric Vehicle Grant Fund and Program.

I support HB1340 because electric school buses protect children’s health, save districts money, cut pollution, and strengthen energy resilience. Diesel fumes concentrate 6–10× higher inside buses, exposing students to asthma triggers, learning delays, cardiovascular risks, and cancer; replacing them with zero‑tailpipe ESBs reduces those acute and chronic harms. Though upfront costs are higher, lifetime fuel and maintenance savings average about $170,000 per bus, easing school budgets and redirecting funds to education. ESBs also dramatically lower community air pollution compared with diesel or propane even after accounting for grid electricity emissions, improving local air quality and equity. Beyond transportation, bus batteries provide flexible clean energy: they can power school buildings during outages, participate in demand response, and serve as second‑life storage after retirement, enhancing grid resilience and lowering electricity costs for Virginians. For health, environmental, and energy security reasons, this bill is a practical investment in our children and communities.

On behalf of the World Resources Institute’s Electric School Bus Initiative, I have attached a letter in support HB 1340 to strengthen the Virginia Electric Vehicle Grant Fund and Program.

I support HB 1350 because every electric school bus (ESB) we get on the road in Virginia means dozens of kids will not be breathing diesel fumes. The 280+ ESBs already in use in the Commonwealth mean thousands of kids are breathing easier. Diesel emissions contain particulate matter and toxins that cause asthma, heart disease, learning delays, and even cancer. The black cloud that comes out of the back of the bus gets concentrated 6-10x inside the bus. Our kids’ health depends on a clean ride to school. It’s also important to note that ESB batteries are a part of the solution for grid resiliency, storm preparedness, and energy affordability— both during the bus lifecycle through Vehicle to Grid (V2G) and Virtual Power Plants (VPPs), as well as after the bus is retired for energy storage.

I urge all members of the Subcommittee to use their influence and votes to pass HB 1340, the electric school bus bill. EV buses will improve air quality, assist children who suffer from asthma, and ultimately save money for school districts. Let's do this for our children!

CAC Tech Services Inc testimony in support of HB 1340. We are a Commonwealth of Virginia based C Corporation which has significant knowledge and know how designing and delivering electric vehicle products to public and private roads. We have worked over the past few years to develop multiple solutions to help repower diesel school buses to electric powertrains which reduces the expense of electrification by 50% compared to a new electric school bus. In the past few years with such large federal incentives there was little interest in repowering diesel school buses to electric, however the federal funding landscape is significantly different. We see that electric powered school buses have a much cleaner air quality inside and outside of the buses which is a benefit of the local community. Also, the total cost of ownership can be beneficial to not only the school district for operational costs, but also the cost to the public welfare in urban environments where cases of asthma and other lung issues are more prevalent. This bill will support school districts with the availability of funding if available which will benefit the commonwealth. Should the school districts embrace the economics of repowering their diesel buses the reach on the same budget would be doubled as well as create more jobs in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
