Virginia
(This page includes tips from reporters, citizens journalists, and others identifying Virginia bills (introduced or passed) that resemble ALEC model legislation. CMD encourages the use of this forum and encourages further detailed research to verify all claims.)
- HB 238/SB 1544 (2010) and HB 2104 (2009) "Public funding for private school scholarships" [1] Legislation was introduced in 2009 and 2010 but failed to win approval.(Sponsors: David B. Albo, Robert B. Bell, Mark L. Cole, Frank D. Hargrove, Sr., John M. O'Bannon, III, Christopher B. Saxman; Senators Stosch and Newman). Looks like ALEC’s Autism Scholarship Program Act. [2] This legislation would create publicly funded scholarship funds to send students with disabilities such as autism to private schools.
- HJR 542 (offered 1/12/11, Sponsors: Speaker Howell, Sen. Vogel) "Repeal Amendment."[3] Compare to ALEC's "Resolution Calling for the Congress of the United States to Call a Constitutional Convention Pursuant to Article V of the United States Constitution to Propose a Constitutional Amendment Permitting Repeal of any Federal Law or Regulation by Vote of Two-Thirds of the State Legislatures."[4][5]
