As I write this Sunday, I’m still recovering from the end of the 2021 legislative session that ended at midnight Saturday. It was truly a 60-day rollercoaster and certainly a session for the history books.
I’m going to highlight several things that happened this session, so bear with me.
¯¯¯¯¯¯ First, I will be happy when the legislative session next year returns to some form of normalcy. I surely hope next year we’re not still operating under COVID-19 restrictions. As much as the video and audio streams make things easier, it’s also better to be on the floor, face-to-face with lawmakers.

As the headline states, it is week two here under the gold dome, but it feels like it’s the final two weeks based on how long floor sessions are going, as well as the tone.
Already this week the House of Delegates passed two education reform bills, legislation dealing with states of emergency and federal disaster funding appropriation authority, and occupational licensing reform – all pretty big reforms.
Most of my time has been spent on the House side. Not to say that the state Senate isn’t doing important things, but it appears the House is doing the heavy lifting, especially on education reform. Considering both education savings accounts and expansive charter school bills have died in the House before, it makes sense to let the House work those bills first before heading to the state Senate where education reform has a friendlier audience.
