HEALTH BENEFIT. WHEN YOU SEE ALL THE BILLS THAT HAVE COME FORWARD IN THIS GENERAL ASSEMBLY TRYING TO DEAL WITH THAT CRISES, THE OPIOID CRISES, AND WE HAVE THIS OPTION, I DON'T NOPE WHY WE WOULD NOT PURSUE IT. AND THEN I GUESS I WOULD SAY TO THE SENIOR SENATOR FROM LOUDOUN, WE ACTUALLY ALL THE TIME, WHEN WE CREATE LEGISLATION, PUT BOXES AROUND WHATEVER WE'RE PERMITTING OR PROHIBITING. SO WE CAN, IN FACT, CONTROL I MEAN, THAT'S WHAT LAWMAKERS SLIPPERY SLOPES. DO, AND FROM MY BRIEF PERIOD INSen. Emmett Hanger (R-Mount Solon): MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE THE BILL PASS AND WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK TO THAT.
[Unknown]: THANK YOU, SENATOR, YOU HAVE THE FLOOR.
Sen. Emmett Hanger (R-Mount Solon): THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. HOUSE BILL 1521 IS OUR IRS CONFORMITY BILL THAT WE DO ANNUALLY. IT HAS AN EMERGENCY CLAUSE ON IT AND THE CPA'S OF THE STATE ARE ANXIOUS FOR US TO GET IT TO THE GOVERNOR'S DESK. THAT'S WHY WE'RE MOVING IT NOW. SO I WOULD ASK THAT IT MOVE THE ONLY MAJOR CHANGE IN AN FORWARD. INTERESTING FACT ABOUT CONFORMING THIS YEAR, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR OUR CONGRESS TALKS A LOT ABOUT TAX REFORM, BUT THE ONLY MAJOR THING THEY DID THIS PAST YEAR THAT WE NEED TO CONFORM TO IS THEY GAVE A TAX BREAK FOR ALL OUR OLYMPIC WINNERS IN VIRGINIA THAT WON GOLF, SILVER AND BRONZE MEDALS, SO THEY WON'T HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON THAT. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
[Unknown]: THANK YOU, SENATOR. THE QUESTION IS, SHALL HOUSE BILL 1521 PASS. ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION WILL RECORD THEIR VOTES AY, THOSE OPPOSED NO. -- EXCUSE ME. THE QUESTION IS, SHALL THE HOUSE BILL PASS? ALL IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION WILL RECORD THEIR VOTES AY, THOSE OPPOSED NO. ARE THE SENATORS READY TO VOTE? HAVE ALL THE SENATORS VOTED? DO ANY SENATORS DESIRE TO CHANGE THEIR VOTE? THE CLERK WILL CLOSE THE ROLL. AYES 39, NOS 0. AYES 39, NOS 0. THE BILL PASSES. UNCONTESTED CALENDAR, SENATE BILLS ON THIRD READING. THE SENATOR FROM JAMES CITY COUNTY, SENATOR NORMENT.
Sen. Tommy Norment (R-Williamsburg): THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT, I MOVE THAT ALL SENATE BILLS ON THE FIRST READING ON THE UNCONTESTED CALENDAR, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE ALL SENATE BILLS ON PAGES 2 THROUGH 11, INCLUDING SENATE BILL 919 THROUGH SENATE BILL 1463 BE PLACED ON THEIR FINAL PASSAGE IN THE BLOCK. IF ANY SENATOR DESIRES TO REMOVE A BILL FROM THE BLOCK, PLEASE DO SO AFTER THE CLERK HAS READ THE NUMBER OF THAT BILL.
[Unknown]: THANK YOU, SENATOR. THE QUESTION IS, SHALL THE
Del. Michael Webert (R-Marshall): IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE SOURCE. WE HAVE A LITTLE THAT IS THE RESULT OF LEGISLATION PASSED SIX YEARS AGO AND THEY HAD TO ROLL OUT THE RULES. AND MR. SPEAKER, I WOULD ATTEST TO YOU THAT THE REASON YOU HAVE ELECTIONS END THE WAY THEY DO IS BECAUSE AS THE RULES COME OUT AND THEY BECOME EVERYBODY DENT, THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE MEASURES. AND THIS MEASURE IS A GUARD AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. BECAUSE MR. SPEAKER WHEN I HAVE SOMEBODY COMING ON TO MY FARM AND THIS IS FOR PRODUCE CONSUMED RAW AND HAS EXCEPTIONS SO ONLY AFFECTS ABOUT 400 FARMS IN THE COMMONWEALTH, BUT, MR. SPEAKER, I WOULD RATHER DEAL WITH THE GENTLEMAN WHO LIVES IN MY AREA
