LOOKING FORWARD TO THE 2021 SESSION

Top Of Virginia Regional Chamber - Pre-Session 2021 Legislators Forum 

Elected officials discuss legislative priorities, COVID-19 restrictions and marijuana. “When asked about fully reopening the state in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, LaRock said, “it should never have been closed.” He said that while measures should be put in place to help elderly, sick and at-risk people, he said there are “financial, economic and human costs” to staying closed. A healthy economy is important for maintaining healthy families, he said.

2021 Session - Legislation Ideas

I have 30+ bills being drafted; most of them are repeating worthwhile efforts from previous sessions. The Speaker says each Delegate will only be allowed to file 7 bills, so some will have to wait or be transferred to other legislators. I will share more details later, but I’m wide open to feedback on which ones matter most to you. Here’s a condensed list:

Transportation:

• Lockbox to protect against diversion of transportation funds
• Incident management vehicles for more efficient clearing of accidents
• CTB; revenue-sharing funds
• Dulles Greenway- VDOT oversight instead of SCC; reasonable return
• Engineering contracts; maximum value

Local/constituent issues:

• Nutrient credit trading; hydrologic units.
• Co-ops authority to attach communications cables/ broadband

Government reform and accountability:

• Protect civil rights from emergency orders (special session HB5075)
• VPPA; verification of work for information technology project services; required contract provisions
• VPPA; preference for contractors using automatic billing verification software
• Require transparency and accountability software use for state agencies with over 20 employees working remotely
• Real and personal property tax exemptions
• Local ordinances must be publicly available to be enforced

Education:

• K-12: family life education standards; live human unborn baby ultrasound viewing required.
• Tax credit; home instruction and private school

Public Safety:

• Prohibit local government self-defense-free zones
• Law Enforcement Transparency and Accountability reintroduce 2021 special session 

Medical Freedom:

• Powers of Commissioner in epidemic. Add safety and ethical requirements for commissioner-mandated vaccine
• Religious exemption - childhood vaccines and emergency vaccines
• Medical privacy protection; immunization history or status
• Bill to protect citizens from compulsory disease testing
• Resolution on individuals' right to make their own medical decisions
• Proposed statutory statement of fundamental right to be free from medical mandates
• COVID-19 vaccine legislation
• Create a temporary space for insurance companies to try-out new products and services
• Abortion; fetal dismemberment prohibited

COVID-19 and VACCINES

Yesterday, Governor Northam justified his curfew edict by quoting his mothers advice, but here's what real analysis shows: Briand (Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics masters degree program at Hopkins) noted that "...50,000 to 70,000 deaths are seen both before and after COVID-19, indicating that this number of deaths was normal long before COVID-19 emerged. Therefore, according to Briand, not only has COVID-19 had no effect on the percentage of deaths of older people, but it has also not increased the total number of deaths"

Experimental vaccine anyone?

The Great Barrington Declaration – As infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists we have grave concerns about the damaging physical and mental health impacts of the prevailing COVID-19 policies, and recommend an approach we call Focused Protection

A Sensible and Compassionate Anti-COVID Strategy From Hillsdale College: “In discussing the deadliness of COVID, we need to distinguish COVID cases from COVID infections. A lot of fear and confusion has resulted from failing to understand the difference.” In early March, the case fatality rate in the U.S. was roughly three percent—nearly three out of every hundred people who were identified as “cases” of COVID in early March died from it. Compare that to today, when the fatality rate of COVID is known to be less than one half of one percent.

A positive test for COVID-19 reveals little about how sick or contagious the patient might be.
