Critical Update - HB 585 Passed out of Committee on Party Line Vote
Unsurprisingly, HB 585 passed out of Counties, Cities, and Towns on a party line vote and will now head back to the full House of Delegates.
Outreach is urgent now. I hate to keep asking for support, but that is what will make the difference. Please take the time to reach out to your elected state officials. Use the Who's My Legislator to look up your local delegate and and let them know how you feel about this proposed legislation and it's impact - https://whosmy.virginiageneralassembly.gov/
If this legislation is enacted it will criminalize and destroy the livelihood of an estimated 1,000 small business owners overnight and will result in the loss of millions of dollars of tax revenue for Virginia. Neither of these is acceptable. Use your voice and tell your elected officials how you feel!
