HB87: Medical incident compensation; penalties.
Patron: Del. Bob Marshall
(R-13)
Status: failed committee
This bill advocates a no fault, workers comp like system for addressing in hospital medical errors/accidents. The idea is not new ... the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations recommended the creation of a "patient-centered" injury compensation system in a 2005 report, http://tiny.cc/KFNQm. Such a system would reduce the cost of care by eliminating litigation costs and reverse the current perverse incentive where facilities that don't do what they can to prevent medical errors, infections and accidents get paid to address the problem that they created.

HB615: Public Procurement Act; small, women, minority, and service disabled veteran-owned businesses.
Patron: Del. Matt Lohr
(R-26)
Status: failed committee
This bill imposes on SWAM businesses a requirement that they do 80% of the work on any state contract that they receive. This limits the ability of SWAM businesses to engage in joint ventures with larger businesses as a means of growing their businesses. 98% of VA businesses are small businesses eligible for SWAM certification. If there's a problem with sham transactions, that should be dealt with as an enforcement matter. It is unfair to tell a SWAM business that 80% of a contract they received must be performed by SWAM businesses while imposing no participation requirement on non-SWAM businesses. This is particularly true where the first phase of the updated state disparity study continues to show that small, women and minority owned businesses are not getting their fair share of the state's business in relation to their ability to perform.
