I have major support for the temperature regulation. I have been to several facilities during summer months in which the heat was so stifling that it melted the glue holding things together in my cell. With extreme heat there is no real remedy. There aren’t but so many articles of clothing you can take off, ice in most facilities is limited, and the cold water from the cell sink is tepid at best.

Virginia does not need a legal pathway for human experimentation. This bill creates a vague carve-out that allows health tech and AI companies to bypass safety and consumer protections, with no clear beneficiaries and no demonstrated need. If you can’t explain who it helps or what it does, it shouldn’t become law. Please do not vote for this bill.

The Health Care Learning Lab and Regulatory Improvement Plan is a fast track for allowing unscrupulous companies unregulated access to Virginian's health. In a time where we are seeing an increase in both the inefficiencies and structural failures created by artificial intelligence integration it is deeply concerning to see this bill (that has been struck down 5 times before) once again before the house of delegates. Virginia has a dark legacy of unethical human experimentation and the performance of scientific study/procedure without the consent of patients. As a leader in the US eugenicist movement, Virginia forcibly sterilized thousands between 1924 and 1979 only slowing in 1988 after procedures were put in place requiring informed consent in most cases. In 2001 the Virginia General Assembly passed a joint resolution expressing regret for VA's aggressive eugenics practices as a misuse of "a respectable scientific veneer to cover [unethical] activities." No Virginian Health Technology Company has spoken in favor of this bill. With our hospitals and medical research facilities leading the US in neurological disorders, cardiovascular medicine, type 1 diabetes, and oncology it is alarming that no state-based company has come out in support of this deregulation. "Innovation in health" is a vague description that opens the door for practices that have ambiguous or unsubstantiated benefits at best and are downright dangerous at worse. If we cannot clearly identify the benefits of deregulation then the regulation is not the innovation stopper it claims to be. OpenAI and Neuralink's aggressive lobbying around the country looking for footholds into established health institutions or disenfranchised communities for microchip development or other human experimentation is cause for immediate concern. It is not hard to draw the conclusion that those companies and other ai "innovation first, people last" projects seek to expand their influence over VA politics beyond the construction of power-grid sapping data centers. Thirty eight years ago the Virginia General Assembly came together to recognize that in order to protect and preserve the safety of Virginians across the state, regulation was critical as was recognizing the dangers of nonconsenting medical procedures. Twenty five years ago the Virginia General Assembly recognized that a blind eye and lack of oversight had lead to the cruel and unethical treatment of our most vulnerable populations. Virginia must continue to move forward with its protection of its population and not backslide into permitting unethical treatment and experimentation. This bill has failed to pass for five years and may this be the last time it fails, never to be introduced again.

There is no need to create a legal pathway for human experimentation in Virginia. In summary, this bill seeks to allow "health tech companies" who seek to utilize AI in health care in some form, to have "restrictive" regulations lifted for them in order to gain market access so that they may "prove" to the Commonwealth if the regulations were necessary in the first place. Either intentionally or unintentionally, this bill will create a carve out for companies like Neuralink or similar companies to skirt pass safety regulations, consumer protections, and/or emerging & existing regulations about artificial intelligence in VA. Health innovation is regulated almost exclusively by the federal government. Products that have completed clinical trials and processed through the FDA, do not have additional health state regulations to overcome. There could be regulations that indirectly impact health innovation such as: - Consumer Protections - Charity care requirements - Human Research - Human Cloning Advocates have failed to give a compelling reason for this bill, despite this being the 5th year the bill has been filed. In all 5 years, not a single Virginian health tech company has spoken in favor of the bill or indicated willingness to participate in the program. When asked about potential beneficiaries or targeted regulations, advocates failed to mention specifics and only offered generalized statements about existing products. If you don't know what a bill will do, don't vote for it. There is not a multiple of legitimate health tech companies residing in Virginia that are seeking to utilize "life-saving products" if only VA regulations "weren't standing in their way". There is a risk though, of creating a backdoor for a sketchy companies with influence to take gain market access. The Commonwealth does not need to create a carve out for “Snake-AI-L solutions”, "The Tuskegee Experiment Reimagined", or “Mark of the Beast Incorporated” to make a quick buck at the expense of Virginians health. Given the history of human experimentation in the US, the inclusion of language that health tech companies must have targeted engagement of diverse communities or populations less than 300% FPL is EXTREMELY concerning. Considering both Neuralink and OpenAI publicly stated they intend to expand operations in 2026, if a health tech company was putting microchips in the brains of vulnerable populations around the Commonwealth, wouldn't it be important that existing regulations were still in place? There is a right way to do things and a wrong way. Virginians deserve real solutions, not flawed, ambiguous, and far reaching proposals such as this. Health care innovation is STRONG in the Commonwealth and it so without this bill. If any health tech company exists that would genuinely like to see this proposal, they should speak with their representative and submit specific legislation to addressing that need specifically. Again, THERE IS NO NEED FOR A LEGAL PATHWAY FOR HUMAN EXPERIMENTATION IN VIRGINIA. DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS BILL

Dear Distinguished Committee, My name is Ian McIntosh, a resident of Virginia, and Executive Director for Not Dead Yet, a national disability rights organization that fights against assisted suicide legislation and for access to the gold standard of healthcare for everyone. On behalf of Not Dead Yet members in Virginia, we strongly urge the committee to vote Yes on Delegate Levere Bolling’s bill, HB 435. For your consideration, I refer you to the article, “Economic Benefits of Investment in Palliative Care: An Appraisal of Current Evidence and Call to Action,” published in the January 2026 issue of the Journal of Pain and Symptom Management, published on behalf of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. (https://tinyurl.com/2x3xr4sp) Contrary to popular belief, palliative care is not just for the dying. When accessed early in diagnosis, palliative care sustains lives as well as saves lives. Moreover, proven scalable models have shown that integrating palliative care into accessible healthcare coverage improves sustainable financing; A true win-win situation. A vote for HB 435 represents an imperative ethical and economic step towards strengthening and protecting Virginia’s most vulnerable in their time of need, and positioning healthcare resources for greater patient-centered success. An investment in palliative care in Virginia is a hedge against catastrophic health expenditures for all Virginians, especially by leveraging Virginia’s existing funding mechanisms to those most vulnerable in underserved urban and rural areas. By establishing The Palliative Care and Quality of Life Advisory Council in tandem with the Palliative Care Information and Education Program, HB 435 would afford Virginians access to clear, transparent, verifiable and authoritative information, which in turn enables informed decision making while enjoying the benefits of improving quality of care that simultaneously helps control health care cost for our great state. Sincerely, Ian McIntosh Executive Director Not Dead Yet - The Resistance

Distinguished Committee, I respectfully submit this written testimony in strong support of the palliative care provisions included in House Bill 435. These provisions represent evidence-based, patient-centered policy that will improve the quality of care delivered across the Commonwealth of Virginia while supporting patients, families, clinicians, and health care systems. Palliative care is a core component of high-quality modern medicine and is distinct from hospice care in that it may be delivered at any stage of serious illness. The palliative care additions in House Bill 435 appropriately reflect this reality and align Virginia law with established national standards of care. House Bill 435 establishes a statewide Palliative Care Information and Education Program to ensure that patients with serious illness and their families have access to accurate, standardized information regarding palliative care services. This provision addresses a well-recognized gap in health care delivery. Many patients and families mistakenly equate palliative care with end-of-life care, resulting in delayed referrals, unmanaged symptoms, and care that is misaligned with patient goals. A formal education program will promote earlier understanding of palliative care as supportive, patient- and family-centered care focused on quality of life. The bill establishes a clear definition of palliative care as patient- and family-centered care addressing physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs and not limited by prognosis or life expectancy. This clarity is essential. By explicitly stating that palliative care may be provided at any stage of illness and concurrently with curative treatment, the bill removes ambiguity that often limits access to services. A clear statutory definition supports appropriate referrals, reduces variation in care delivery, and ensures patients receive symptom-focused support based on need rather than prognosis alone. House Bill 435 also requires licensed hospitals, nursing homes, and certified facilities to identify patients who may benefit from palliative care. This promotes proactive, systematic identification of patients with significant symptom burden or complex medical needs. Structured identification will improve equity in access and support earlier care planning and coordination. In addition, the bill requires facilities to provide information about palliative care and facilitate access to available services. This ensures that integration extends beyond recognition to meaningful action. Finally, the bill establishes a Palliative Care and Quality of Life Advisory Council to provide ongoing guidance and recommendations. This council will ensure that palliative care policy in Virginia remains informed by clinical expertise, evolving best practices, and the needs of diverse communities, including rural and underserved populations. In conclusion, House Bill 435’s palliative care additions represent prudent and compassionate policy that strengthens Virginia’s health care system while honoring patient dignity and autonomy. For these reasons, I respectfully urge support of the palliative care provisions in House Bill 435. Thank you, Dr John Daniel Markley Practicing Internal Medicine and Infectious Disease Physician, Richmond Virginia Medical Society of Virginia, Active Member

Please, vote for this bill. This bill will help educate patients of the benefits of palliative care and establishes standards that can help mitigate competitive practices. Often when patients here "palliative/hospice care" brought up by their doctor, it can create a sense of unease due to the perception that palliative/hospice care is for people "who have given up". For patients reaching the end of their journey, palliative care enhance the remaining time they have and often, prolong patient longevity. I urge you to vote for this bill.

The attached document is a public comment from the Virginia Association of Centers for Independent Living (VACIL) in support of HB 435, legislation focused on expanding access to palliative care. The comment explains how the bill improves education, informed choice, and access to palliative care for people with disabilities, while preserving self-determination and individual control over medical decisions. It highlights the alignment of the legislation with the Independent Living philosophy by promoting dignity, quality of life, and equitable access to information and services across the Commonwealth

I strongly support both HB531 and HB542. These bills are about accountability and compassion, guaranteed informed consent, and simply doing what is right for a living infant, affirming the inherent dignity and worth of every human life. It is nearly incomprehensible that a civilized society would act otherwise. Please vote in favor of this critical legislation.

Dear Madam Chair and members of the Committee, thank you for allowing me to speak in support of HB 531. Every baby deserves to be reported and cared for. My name is Robin Sertell, and I am the survivor of three failed saline abortions. During each abortion attempt, the abortionist inserted a needle deep into my mother’s belly, withdrawing up to a cup of life-giving amniotic fluid, replacing it with a fetal-lethal cocktail designed to burn me inside and out. Normally, after this procedure, the mother returns to have labor induced 48-72 hours later, with the expectation that she will expel a dead baby. In my case, they found signs of life when she went in to be induced, so the procedure was repeated a second, and then a third time. After that third feticidal injection, they were unable to find signs of life. However, my mother was also very sick by then from all the chemicals that had now entered her body as well, and she was miraculously sent to the hospital when it was time for her to be induced. My father felt like he had no voice in the matter, but wanted to be a good husband, so he drove my mom to the hospital. After labor was induced, instead of expelling a dead baby, I was born, very much alive. I’m extremely grateful my dad was in the room that day, because he plead for my life, and I was then whisked off to receive much needed life-sustaining care. Because there is no national law that requires this, I would have been a statistic if my dad wasn’t there . Every baby deserves that same care, but without the requirement to report and care for a baby who is born alive after an abortion, most don’t receive it . I needed a number of surgeries. I was told I would never walk, I was told I would never talk, and had persistent health problems for a number of years. Yet, as you can see, I’ve been able to heal, and live a full, productive life, for which I am very grateful. Other babies deserve the same opportunity. We need to close the loophole in our law to protect the most vulnerable among us, and HB 531 will do just that. I urge a do pass on HB 531. Thank you, Madam/Mr. Chair.

I would like to ask your support for HB 531 and HB 542. Life is precious and should be protect from conception onward if possible. There are options besides abortion. Many couples are looking to have children but are not able to have children. The Commonwealth should look for ways to support prenatal care. Regarding the Safe Haven program, very little has been done to advertise or promoted this program by the Commonwealth. I would suggest adding funding to make sure all health care providers and interested parties are made aware.

I encourage passage of each of the above bills. These are all improvements for the residents of our state ,in safety , legal protection and personal freedom and responsibility.

Our household is in support of this bill, as babies are precious and we must exhibit compassion, love and the utmost care to them. No baby should be left without the best medical care possible.

HB531: If a child is born alive, then he / she is protected under the Constitution and is entitled to "health" care to save his or her life. The mother may give up her rights to the child, but the child is entitled to equal protection under the law. HB537: America is one of 30 countries who hasn’t banned fluoride in the water out of over 150 countries. Japan, China, Norway, are countries who have banned it. Why? Fluoride, with all of the health risks, I try to avoid it, but it's impossible because I drink it, shower in it, cook with it... It's not the same fluoride that the dentists use. For those that want fluoride, they can get it in toothpaste, mouthwash, even toothpaste tablets - who knew? If i want to use fluoride "for my teeth" then that should be my choice. I shouldn't have to be concerned about showering in it and what the health effects may be. I should have informed consent.

I am opposed to this bill allowing a baby to be killed through full term. Despicable!!!!

Babies born alive are human beings regardless of whether or not someone was callous enough to try to end their life before birth. To deny care to a baby born alive is murder. Please ensure the survival of these precious innocent babies by making it law to care for them.

If you go off the basis that once the baby is outside the womb, it is a living human being, then this child has rights and doctors shall do no harm which means providing it the necessary elements to survive as they would do for a baby born at any gestational age who had not attempted to be aborted. Abortions should happen under the care of a doctor with informed consent for the reason of follow up to make sure the fetus is terminated properly. If a physician is required to provide this medical care to the pregnant mother, than it would be very rare for a baby to be born who intended to be aborted.

There are many cases where abortions, especially third trimester abortions, fail, and the baby is born alive. In these cases, it is essential that these infants be provided medical care. Babies born alive deserve the right to life and the right to lifesaving medical treatment. Whether pro-choice or pro-life, we all agree that children who have been born should not be left to die. Please vote yes on this bill.

A child born alive is a human being recognized by the Constitution with full right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This child should not be denied healthcare based on the circumstances of their birth or the feelings of the mother. Every human life has intrinsic value that is not diminished because of contrary thoughts and feeling of the mother. The child is alive outside of its mother's womb and is entitled to equal protection under the law. The mother may relinquish rights to the child, but the child is entitled to care and protection.

I strongly support both HB531 and HB542. These bills are about accountability and compassion, guaranteed informed consent, and simply doing what is right for a living infant, affirming the inherent dignity and worth of every human life. It is nearly incomprehensible that a civilized society would act otherwise. Please vote in favor of this critical legislation.

Women should be given informed consent about newborn safety devices, like Safe Haven Baby Boxes, that are available near them before receiving an abortion. Pro-choice and pro-life people agree that women should be given the chance to keep their baby, and they should be provided with all the options before undergoing an irreversible procedure. Abortion ends the life of a human zygote, embryo, or fetus, and that cannot be undone. Before an abortion happens, healthcare providers should be required to inform women that there is help available that can enable them to continue their pregnancy and preserve the life of that human child. Please vote yes on this bill.

I support HB685.

As a resident of Virginia, I strongly support HB685 (Zehr). This bill protects one of the most basic human rights—the right to live safely and to maintain the integrity of our own bodies. Without this, human dignity cannot exist. Forced organ harvesting is a crime against humanity. If we cannot speak up for the victims, we risk losing our moral conscience and our most fundamental values. When evil goes unchecked, it threatens everyone, including ourselves. Supporting this bill means standing for human dignity, justice, and the protection of every life. It is not only a policy choice, but a moral responsibility.

As a resident of Virginia, I support HB685.

I fully support HB685. Chinese communist party's 'forced organ harvesting' is an unprecedented evil on this planet. When confronted with such crimes, I am reminded of the famous words of the German pastor Martin Niemöller: “They came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Finally they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” Now, seeing this bill being introduced by Delegate Zehr and Walker, I see hope for humanity.

Thank you for introducing this important bill. I sincerely hope every member will support and vote in favor of it. Extensive and credible reports from international investigators, human rights organizations, and medical experts have raised grave concerns that prisoners of conscience in China — many of them Falun Gong practitioners — have been killed for their organs. Over the past five years, more than 30 VA counties, cities, and towns, along with Virginia House, have passed resolutions condemning Chinese Communist Party’s forced organ harvesting. It is time to move beyond resolutions and take meaningful action in Virginia. This bill does exactly that. It helps ensure that Virginia residents do not unknowingly become complicit in unethical and potentially criminal transplant practices abroad. It also raises awareness about the serious medical and ethical risks involved in traveling overseas for organ transplants, where transparency and post-operative care may be lacking. We are aware of cases in which Virginia residents traveled to China for transplants, and some suffered severe complications or even lost their lives afterward. This legislation is not only about human rights — it is also about protecting the health, safety, and moral responsibility of our own community. This is a bill that can help save lives and uphold fundamental human values. Thank you for your leadership, and I respectfully urge all members to support its passage.

Since the Chinese Communist Party began its persecution of Falun Gong in July 1999, innocent practitioners have been abducted and illegally detained in detention centers and jails at all levels of the public security system. Countless innocent civilians of faith have become a source for the CCP regime’s mass harvesting of healthy organs; in some cases, even children are not spared. They are forced to undergo so-called medical examinations; as long as they are healthy and a blood type match is found, they risk becoming the next 'lamb to the slaughter,' subjected to ruthless organ harvesting. Therefore, I strongly support HB685 here and hope that more people can save lives.

The Nazi had the holocaust; the Chinese regime has forced organ harvesting. Both are mass killings. As a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Germany, I applaud Delegates Zehr and Walker for introducing this important bill, which puts Virginia on the right side of history.

Thank you, Delegates Zehr and Walker, for sponsoring this important bill. It safeguards the privacy and biosecurity of Virginians. We should never unknowingly become complicit in the crime of forced organ harvesting, which is killing people on demand for their organs and violates the most basic standards of humanity.

The Chinese communist Party (CCP) made its medical professionals cover up SARS, hide COVID, and force abortions on women who don’t want them. And a recent China Tribunal led by Sir Geoffrey Nice QC reveals that doctors in communist China take organs from living Falun Gong practitioners, killing them in the process. Sadly, organ harvesting is being done on a mass scale. The U.S. cannot trust China’s medical ethics. If we do, we could put Virginia’s patients at risk. To protect our citizens, Virginia's medical community should not work with China at all. We should also take a stand against human rights atrocities that go against our American values.

I support HB 685 because it would prohibit health insurance carriers from knowingly covering human organ transplants performed in China or involving organs sourced from China. Since 2006, U.S. media and human rights organizations have reported credible allegations of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting in China, including from Uighurs, Falun Gong, and other prisoners of conscience. In 2021, United Nations human rights experts stated that forced organ harvesting in China appears to target specific ethnic and religious groups held in detention, including through non-consensual medical testing unrelated to medical care. HB 685 will help protect Virginia residents and ensure that our Commonwealth does not indirectly subsidize or legitimize grave human rights abuses. I respectfully urge you to support HB 685.

I fully support HB685. The boom in China's organ transplant industry since the start of this century did not occur by accident or mere good luck. It stemmed entirely from a vast pool of organ donors that mysteriously became available to fuel this business. What surprises me is that even traditional Chinese medicine hospitals can have their own organ transplant centers, which proves how popular and attractive this organ transplant business is. Obviously, transplanting organs is much, much more profitable than selling herbs. Two Chinese medicine hospitals are on the "List of hospitals that are approved for organ transplant projects" published by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China back in 2013 (https://en.nhc.gov.cn/2014-06/25/c_45634.htm, #99 & #134). The more doctors are trained in this field, the more organs they will seek out. They will not sit idly by, letting their valuable skills go to waste—all in pursuit of money and fame. But where are the organs coming from? Why does China always refuse to publish the sources of these organs? No answer is the answer. Foreign patients are especially welcome because they are willing to pay higher fees, which is precisely why this bill matters.

Supporting HB685 is ultimately a human rights decision. The Chinese regime has a well-documented record of using genetic sequencing technologies to monitor, control, and persecute targeted groups, including ethnic minorities, religious believers, and political dissidents. When medical systems in Virginia rely on genetic sequencing equipment, software, or data services connected to China, there is a real risk of becoming entangled in that abusive system. HB685 draws a clear line by ensuring that Virginians’ most sensitive biological data is not linked to technologies associated with state surveillance or repression. Passing this bill protects patient trust, upholds ethical medical standards, and affirms that Virginia will not benefit—directly or indirectly—from practices that violate basic human rights.

Hi My name is Jisun Bae. Today I want to tell you about Falun Gong. Falun Gong is an ancient mind-body practice that cultivates according to the principles of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. Master Li HongZhi began sharing it with the world in 1992. It is now practiced worldwide in over 100 countries. It has an excellent effect on mental and physical health. But The CCP has been persecuted the Falun Gong since July 20, 1999. The Chinese Communist Party kidnapped innocent people and Forced Organ Harvesting. Most of the Victims are Falun Gong practitioners. The CCP tortured, forced labor and Forced Organ Harvesting then cremated the corpses right away, last 26 years in whole China. The CCP even takes eyeballs without anesthesia. The CCP is traveling the world exhibiting human specimens. Even bodies after their organs harvested were used to generate more revenue. Brains were used for brain supplements, hair for wigs, skin for transplants, human oil for cosmetics, human flesh for food factories, bones for tooth implants, and so on... and mostly only the well-connected CCP, state-owned enterprises, and large corporations had the opportunity to obtain them. China has recently legalized organ harvesting, with even infants (including babies just 4 days old) being killed. This is just genocide. We must end these crimes that is against humanity. Over the past 26 years, countless Falun Gong practitioners have died due to live Forced Organ Harvesting. How many more Falun Gong practitioners must die?.. Even at this very moment, the Falun Gong Pactioners could be dragged away and killed. I speak to you with all my heart. Please protect the Falun Gong practitioners. Warm regards, Sincerely, Jisun

I respectfully urge your support for HB 685. For many, this bill may be about policy and data; for me, it is about a reality I barely escaped with my life. I am a native of China and a practitioner of Falun Gong. Because of my faith, the Chinese Communist Party stripped me of my youth. In 2001, while I was a sophomore in college, I was abducted and sent to Tuanhe Labor Camp for one year. I was shocked with high-voltage electric batons—sometimes five at once—until I lost consciousness. I still carry physical scars on my neck and limbs. I was denied sleep for days. The most chilling part of my imprisonment was not the violence, but the so-called “medical exams.” In October 2001, guards took about 300 of us—only Falun Gong practitioners—to an in-house clinic. These were the same guards who routinely beat us and denied us medical care for our injuries. Yet suddenly, they showed meticulous interest in our blood type and the condition of our internal organs. We were never given any results. I later came to understand that I was not being treated; I was being “inventoried”—screened as a potential source for China’s state-sanctioned organ harvesting system. I worry most about those who were even more vulnerable than I was. Under the CCP’s policy of “collective punishment,” many detained practitioners refused to disclose their names in order to protect their families and communities. Under this system, if a worker petitions for their faith, their entire company is penalized. These “anonymous” prisoners became ghosts in the system. With no one to account for them, they were the easiest targets for forced organ harvesting. Over the past two decades, this industry has only grown, and the targets have expanded. What began with Falun Gong has evolved into a broader nightmare in which even young students have disappeared, and some families later discovered their loved ones’ bodies with organs missing. When a regime treats human beings as biological commodities, no one is truly safe. For those of us living in the United States, HB 685 is a vital shield. It helps ensure that Virginians are not unknowingly complicit in a medical system fueled by abuse and killing. It also protects our genetic data from a regime that has shown it exploits biological information globally. When I think about that blood test in 2001, I feel a deep sense of survivor’s guilt. I am alive to speak today, but countless others are not. I respectfully ask you to support HB 685. Let Virginia lead by affirming that human life and genetic privacy are not commodities to be traded with tyranny. Thank you.

Please vote in support of HB685. The US State Department, the UN Office of Human Rights, and numerous human rights organizations have acknowledged evidence that the Chinese Communist Party has used nonconsensual forced organ harvesting in its brutal persecution of faith communities in China. HB685 will save lives by helping to prevent Virginia residents from unwittingly contributing to the death of a Chinese prisoner of conscience who could be killed for his or her organs. The bill will also help protect the privacy of residents' genetic sequencing data, which foreign adversaries--like the Chinese regime--could use for nefarious purposes. Thank you.
