Crossover

A little more than three weeks to go!
Accompanying this report are Pre-Crossover and Post-Crossover legislative tables. There are "only" 43 pieces of legislation in play at this point that we're keeping a special eye on so we're hoping for a smooth second half of the session.

With crossover starting, IIAV's proposal on certificates from the Senate - SB 47 - comes before the House Commerce and Labor Committee tomorrow. This bill needs to be amended slightly to conform it to our House bill - HB 867 - but our House sponsor; Delegate Rust serves on the House Commerce and Labor Committee so we should receive a good reception.

After the certificate bills, there really don't seem to be that many fall on our sword issues facing us. There are a few that I need to hear presentations on to clarify what the public policy positions are behind them, but we'll continued to be at the legislature working on the bills.
The IIAV Health Insurance Task Force is already at work on providing comments on SB 496 as we want to be absolutely prepared with a bill that we like in case of an adverse Supreme Court decision.

As always, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me by e-mail at Rbradshaw@iiav.com or through my cell phone at 804-929-4134.
