Transcript

This is a transcript of the video clips in which this bill is discussed.



Del. Mark Levine (D-Alexandria): IN OTHER STATES, PEOPLE IN OTHER STATES CAN PASS LAWS IN THEIR STATES THAT ENCOURAGE THEIR CITIZENS TO BREAK THE LAW IN VIRGINIA. I DON'T WANT TO SEE A WAR BETWEEN THE STATES, I DON'T THINK THAT RETALIATION IS A GOOD THING. THE THIRD THING, AND THIS IS KIND OF A LEGALISTIC POINT, BUT THE LAW SAYS NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW. NOW, WE PASSED SOMETHING WITH THAT LANGUAGE YESTERDAY, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF LAW, AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT'S LIKE A SUPER LAW. IT MEANS THIS LAW MATTERS MORE THAN EVERY OTHER LAW IN THE BOOKS, AND LOGICALLY, YOU CAN'T DO THAT MORE THAN ONCE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO BILLS SAY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER LAW, WHEN THE TWO LAWS CONFRONT EACH OTHER. I GUESS A JUDGE WILL HAVE TO WORK IT OUT. I THINK IT'S BADLY DRAFTED. I ENCOURAGE THE MEMBERS TO OPPOSE THE BILL. THANK YOU MR. SPEAKER.

Del. Bill Howell (R-Fredericksburg): THE GENTLEMAN FROM PRINCE WILLIAM, MR. LINGAMFELTER.

Del. Scott Lingamfelter (R-Woodbridge): YES, MR. SPEAKER, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE BODY THE GENESIS OF THIS BILL. THE PATRON OF THE BILL FOR SEVERAL YEARS HAS ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH DOESN'T HARM LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT IT DOES HARM SOMEONE. IT HARMS LAW ASIDING CITIZENS
