This is not the wording of the bill. Which can be found here, http://lis (period) virginia (period) gov/cgi-bin/legp604 (period) exe?131+ful+HB1450

Why so secretive about the bill's real intent, Waldo?

Uh. What? You're wildly paranoid if you think that I'm just randomly changing bill text.

The wording of the bill is exactly the wording that is here. Everything on Richmond Sunlight is automatically retrieved on an hourly basis from the legislature's website. There is a link to the bill—as there is with all bills—on the right-hand side of the page, where it says "View on the General Assembly's Site." On the rare occasions that there is in an error in the text here, it is almost always because the legislature's website briefly displayed inaccurate text, and that text was captured in the period in which it was inaccurate. On occasions that are rarer still, a bug in my software has caused inaccurate text to show up, but any such bugs have been fixed as soon as they've been spotted. As you can see, however, the text is entirely accurate in this instance.

Wow, you are correct. I was thinking I was on HB 1450 and I was furious, too. So OK, sorry. I am wildly paranoid, but not without reason, as this monster keeps reappearing in different disguises.
