Victory in the House
-Update February 03, 2012-
With just a little over a week to go before Crossover, the deadline for the House and Senate to finish work on their own bills, the pace has really picked up. The House still has about 1200 bills and resolutions to consider and the Senate has over 500. Committees and subcommittees will be meeting late into the night as the legislators race to meet their February 15th deadline. Both the House and the Senate must pass a bill before it heads to the Governor’s desk for final approval to become a state law.
The VADA staff has focused its time and energy on a handful of bills to ensure the dealers of Virginia are not adversely impacted. We have been updating you on those measures. These matters, while not as visible and highly charged as a franchise battle, are still important to our dealer members and their businesses.
The VADA staff has been working hand in hand with the DMV Commissioner to help expedite and streamline DMV practices, specifically moving towards electronic titling and improving the print-on-demand temp tag program.
Please see the updates on the legislation we are tracking. As always, we will continue to serve the dealers of Virginia at the General Assembly.
