Description
Constitutional amendment (voter referendum); real property tax exemption for surviving spouses of certain disabled veterans. Provides for a referendum at the November 6, 2018, election to approve or reject an amendment to the real property tax exemption for a primary residence that is currently provided to the surviving spouses of veterans who had a one hundred percent service-connected, permanent, and total disability to allow the surviving spouse to move to a different principal place of residence. Similar real property tax exemptions provided in the Constitution of Virginia to (i) the surviving spouses of members of the armed forces killed in action and (ii) the surviving spouses of certain emergency services providers killed in the line of duty allow the surviving spouse to move to a different principal place of residence and still claim the tax exemption. This bill is the companion ballot legislation for HJR 6 and is identical to SB 900. Read the Bill »

Del. Jason Miyares (R-Virginia Beach): the voters a dom bill that passed last year. That allows the spouses killed of those skilled in action and surviving spouses -- having loved ones killed in action in the line of duty and first responders in police, their tax exemption travels with them. If they sell their property, this corrects that section of the code and I hope it's the pleasure of the house to pass the bill onto the third reading.
[Unknown]: continuing on. Next up is -- H.B. 614. A bill to amend and reenact 54.1-3700 and 54.1-3705 of the code of virginia, relating to practice of social work. reported from committee on health, welfare and institutions. >> the delegate from from newport news, delegate price. >> currently here in the commonwealth, we have two levels of licensure for social work. Licensed social workers which includes masters and bachelors levels and licensed clinical social work. This would create a mid-level license. I just wanted to note that neither sections, 54.1-3701, the exemptions nor 51.3709, the unlawful designation of social workers are altered in any way by hb 614. I move that the house engross the bill and pass it onto the third reading. >> house bill 734 has been taken by for the day.
