| GOVERNOR KAINE ANNOUNCES ACTION ON ADDITIONAL LEGISLATION RICHMOND On April 14, Governor Timothy M. Kaine announced action on several bills. He was required under the Virginia Constitution to complete action by midnight of the 14th on the 958 bills passed by the 2006 General Assembly. Schools for the Deaf and Blind SB 676 (Senator Hanger) and HB 350 (Delegate Hamilton) The Governor offered a substitute for SB 676 and HB 350, which provides for renovation of the buildings and continued funding for the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind at Staunton, and proposed the creation of a regional program to serve deaf and blind persons in the Hampton Roads area. The Governor’s substitute didn’t name any specific non-profit organization to operate the regional program in Hampton Roads. “There is no consensus yet on what type of program should be offered in the Hampton Roads region,” Governor Kaine said. “This amendment will give state and regional officials flexibility in developing the program.” Source: Billy Taylor |
