Home health care workers deserve five paid sick days a year. That s the new requirement in a bill now under consideration by the Senate.
Delegate Elizabeth Guzman, a Democrat from Prince William County, initially introduced a bill that would have required paid sick days for essential workers, but senators narrowed it considerably so now it applies only to this one kind of worker.
Republican Senator Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg asked Delegate Guzman what would happen if the governor amends her bill to expand it beyond home healthcare workers. Without me looking at what the governor wants to do, I cannot say what I will do,” Guzman said.

Virginia’s the only state in the country that doesn’t guarantee a right to appeal court rulings.
That’s a situation Senator John Edwards of Roanoke says creates a lack of oversight for judges. And that s why he has introduced a bill that would add new judges and expand the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals to guarantee a right to appeal court cases. It s universally recognized that the model for justice should have at least one appeal of right in all civil and all criminal cases, Edwards explained. From Aristotle in 200 BC to the American Bar Association, they ve supported this concept.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - Some lawmakers hope that legislation in Virginiaâs General Assembly will make the roads safer, especially for bicyclists.
If passed, the Virginia Bicycle Safety Act, SB 1263 and HB 2262, would make small changes to the Code of Virginia, which includes three parts.
It would require drivers to change lanes to pass a bicyclist when the lane is not wide enough to pass three feet to the left.
It would allow two bicyclists to ride side-by-side at any time
