Invasives should be pulled or killed by herbicide and not be permitted to be sold in nurseries

I write in support of the nature-based solutions bill, HB70, and reminded the subcommittee that 15.2-901 section 3 is a barrier to adoption of nature based solutions. The fund administrators might consider advising repeal of locality lawn ordinances enabled by 15.2-901.3 (that HB1613 expands) as a part of promoting nature-based solutions. Linked is a [data apendix.](https://buildingbettercommunities.org/#outline-container-hb70) Graphs of a Harrisonburg storm water survey that show a "team nature-based" and "team engineered" clustering, with team nature based being the overwhelming favorite, while a few who also are skeptical about climate issues cleave to team engineered. In Harrisonburg in general, more than 90 percent in multiple surveys of varying rigor by half a dozen independent sources -- all such surveys I have seen -- are consistent with more than 90% support of nature-based solutions and repealing lawn ordinances. However, storm water BMP adoption is only a little over 3% on eligible residential parcels in eco-friendly Harrisonburg. Directing resources, rather than code enforcement, can reverse negative spirals and have an outsized impact in low income communities. I also write in support of HB407. My family moved to Harrisonburg because it was a place with dark skies, clean air, clean water, a temperate climate, and an ecological and biodiversity gem on the populated part of this continent. Our yard was a haven within that until a neighbor put up stadium lights in their back yard. Harrisonburg City Council too often hears "lighting" as a solution to safety issues despite [The End of Night](https://www.paul-bogard.com/books/the-end-of-night-paul-bogard) debunking such myths and explaining the benefits of darkness having been published while the author was a Jame Madison University faculty member and having for a time made a splash here. The education needs to be ongoing, in line with HB407. This subcommittee can go further in advancing the goals of both of these laudable bills by stopping HB1316 when it comes to you and removing, among other things, a key barrier to ecological consciousness and adoption of best management practices.

I completely agree with previous commenter who made the following statement: I am writing in strong support of HB256 and appreciate the General Assembly’s attention to the need for environmental justice to be meaningfully integrated into local planning decisions across Virginia. For far too long, low-income communities and communities of color have borne the greatest burden of pollution, environmental hazards, and underinvestment — often living closest to highways, industrial facilities, and aging infrastructure. These same neighborhoods frequently lack access to clean air and water, safe housing, reliable transportation, green space, and health-supporting resources. Yet historically, comprehensive planning processes have failed to adequately identify or address these inequities. HB256 is an important step toward changing that. By requiring localities to consider adopting an environmental justice strategy during comprehensive plan updates, this bill helps ensure that environmental health, community voice, and equitable investment are treated as core planning priorities — not afterthoughts. Identifying environmental justice and fenceline communities allows local governments to better understand where cumulative impacts exist and to plan intentionally to reduce health risks and close long-standing gaps. I especially support the bill’s emphasis on civic engagement and prioritizing improvements that directly benefit impacted communities, including clean air and water initiatives, climate resilience investments, accessible transportation, healthy housing, and expanded green space. When planning reflects lived experience, outcomes are stronger and public trust is improved. HB256 does not mandate a one-size-fits-all solution, but instead provides a framework for local governments to plan more responsibly, transparently, and equitably. I urge you to support this legislation and help ensure that Virginia’s growth and development does not continue to leave vulnerable communities behind.

I fully support HB256 as written.

-We appreciate that this legislation encourages localities to identify major sources of pollution or hazardous waste sites within their jurisdiction, and to establish objectives and policies that reduce health risks in environmental justice and fenceline communities. -HB256 provides a tool for integrating data into the comprehensive planning process that may help localities develop strategies, such as improving water quality or increasing resilience to flooding, that reduce local health burdens, protect waterways, and meaningfully engage affected communities.

Isn't that racist and against the current federal standards?

HB256 will require localities to think about environmental justice as they develop their comprehensive plan. I have engaged with the development of my city's comp plan and this makes a lot of sense. Incorporating environmental justice into planning can avoid problems before they get big and show that a locality values all its residents' health. Please pass HB256.

Invasives should be pulled or killed by herbicide and not be permitted to be sold in nurseries

As a Veteran, I support this legislation. Outdoor recreation should be encouraged and promoted as well as affordable for all Virginia residents and tourists and their families My concern is the impact on fees for others that also want to enjoy the parks as well. I hope they are not increased to offset the funds. The outdoors is the one place we are not charged increased fees to enjoy and it shoukd be that way for all of us. Please don't increase fees on others. That is all I ask. Thank you for supporting Virginia Veterans

Hi, my name is Linda Hughes and I'm a constituent from Williamsburg. I'm calling today to ask you to vote YES on HB109 by Delegate Holly Seibold, YES on HB88 by Delegate Amy Laufer, and YES on HB388 by Delegate Katrina Callsen. I'm a certified Virginia Master Naturalist and I know first hand how Invasive plants are costing Virginians millions of dollars each year and destroy native ecosystems that support pollinators & wildlife. These bills will help stop the spread of invasive plants across the Commonwealth by allowing regulators to add plants to the Noxious Weeds List based on merit & science, by ensuring that invasive plants are not planted along our state highways, by empowering local jurisdictions to raise funds to treat & control invasive plants, and by giving state agencies flexibility to use volunteers to help control invasive plants on state lands. Together these bills will support Virginia’s efforts to combat invasive plants and the damages they are causing to our farms, our forests, our health, our parks, and our economy. And, vote YES on Delegate Jessica Anderson's HB 291. As a Wildlife transporter I see far too many beautiful birds & mammals entangled by fishing line often killing them. Thank you.

Invasives should be pulled or killed by herbicide and not be permitted to be sold in nurseries

📄 Written Testimony – HB 291 House Committee on Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Natural Resources Subcommittee January 21, 2026 Submitted by: Bob Tubbs Founder & Advocate, Virginia Animal Protection Group Written Statement in Support of HB 291 Thank you for the opportunity to submit written comments in support of HB 291, relating to fishing tackle recycling and disposal education. HB 291 takes a practical, education-first approach to a well-documented conservation issue. Improperly discarded fishing line and tackle can entangle birds, turtles, fish, and other wildlife—often restricting movement, cutting circulation, or preventing animals from feeding or escaping predators. In many cases, these injuries are preventable through simple awareness of proper disposal and recycling practices. Rather than creating new regulations or penalties, HB 291 focuses on public education by directing the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources to provide clear, accessible information to anglers and the general public. This approach supports ethical recreation, protects wildlife, and promotes stewardship of Virginia’s waterways without burdening the fishing community. The bill is also fiscally responsible. It relies on existing agency infrastructure, includes periodic evaluation to ensure effectiveness, and provides transparency through reporting to the General Assembly—without mandating program expansion. HB 291 represents a thoughtful balance between conservation, recreation, and responsible governance. I respectfully encourage the subcommittee to support the bill. Thank you for your time and consideration. Respectfully submitted, Bob Tubbs Founder & Advocate, Virginia Animal Protection Group 2023 Recipient, Animal Legal Defense Fund – Compassion in Action Award

Please support rejoining RGGI and requiring being part of it going forward. Millions of dollars of flood preparedness funds have already gone to SW Va, including projects that are in the ground in Christiansburg and in Roanoke. Other localities are right now doing the hard work of planning and analyzing their watersheds to see what can be done to alleviate flooding damages. The only way to mitigate climate change is to fund and require the change to insulated, efficient homes and businesses and carbon neutral energy. It is just like rural electrification and community water and sewer. It has to be required and at least partially state funded. I live in rural southwest VA, and have watched the climate change and flooding get more frequent and worse. All RGGI does is require that the cost of fossil fuels in terms of climate change be paid for instead of ignored.

With respect to the patron, Virginia’s electric cooperatives would like to note several impacts of this legislation from both a reliability and affordability perspective. Reentering the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) adds a carbon allowance cost to electricity generation. That added cost affects how generation resources are dispatched and makes some existing resources more expensive to utilize. As a result, dispatchable generation that remains critical to meeting ever increasing demand and needed to support reliability is likely to operate less often or at higher cost. Those higher costs are ultimately borne by the ratepayer, including families, businesses, and communities across the Commonwealth. Our cooperative member-consumers are straddled with these additional costs as pass-through wholesale power costs. At a time when many Virginians continue to struggle to keep up with rising costs, even modest increases in electricity bills can be difficult to absorb. While we recognize the importance of expanding the availability of energy efficiency programs for low-income residents and enhancing local and regional flood resilience, we do not believe imposing additional costs on Virginians is the most effective way to fund these important priorities. From a reliability perspective, maintaining dispatchable generation resources is critical. As the resource mix evolves, the amount of capacity that can be relied upon during the hours of highest system risk is declining. PJM’s most recent capacity auction for the 2027/2028 delivery year cleared with procured capacity below PJM’s reliability target for reserve margin. Policies that increase operating costs for existing generation can impact long-term planning and place additional pressure on system reliability, particularly during extreme weather events when the grid is most stressed. For these reasons, we respectfully urge careful consideration of the operational and ratepayer impacts of HB 397, particularly how increased generation costs are passed directly to Virginians.
