House Privileges and Elections Docket

As of January 11, 2002, the House Privileges and Elections Docket included:

Bob Purkey's HB 33 Addresses for purposes of voter registration and DMV records bill requires "individuals to provide the same residence address for purposes of voter registration and for obtaining licenses, permits, and identity cards from the Department. Directs the State Board of Elections and Department to implement procedures to verify the same residence address is shown on the voter registration system and Department records"

[Good idea or bad idea? See Establishing Residency for Voter Registration Purposes in the State of Virginia .

Would it have any impact on Charlottesville City Council elections if it were in effect today? See Early Bird Special]"

and

Mitch Van Yahres' HB 378 Municipal elections; option for November council elections bill provides "that cities and towns may shift to November elections held in either odd-numbered or even-numbered years"

[Good idea or bad idea? See Mitch Van Yahres' HB 379 Charter; City of Charlottesville bill which allows the City, in accordance with the provisions of general law, to hold its municipal elections in November and general discussion of moving municipal elections to November on www.loper.org/~george ]"

and

Richard Black's HB 599 Party designations on the ballot bill extends "to local elections, other than school board and soil and water conservation district elections, the identification of candidates by party name on the ballot"

[Anything wrong with that?]

and

Karen Darner's HJ 11 United States Constitution; Equal Rights Amendment ratifying "the Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution that was proposed by Congress in 1972. This joint resolution advocates the position that the 1972 Equal Rights Amendment remains viable and may be ratified notwithstanding the expiration of the 10-year ratification period set out in the resolving clause, as amended, in the proposal adopted by Congress."
