New Virginia law sets up stakeholder process to diversify coal region s economy – Appalachian Voices

Posted April 19, 2021 at 11:48 am CONTACT: Chelsea Barnes, Legislative Director, chelsea@appvoices.org, 614-205-6424 Governor Northam has signed into law a bill, passed by the General Assembly during the 2021 session, that ends decades-old tax credits for the coal industry and establishes a stakeholder process to inform economic development and transition in Southwest Virginia. The governor signed the bill on Thursday. Ending the credits, which cost Virginia an average of $35 million annually in the past decade, was precipitated by a state report that found they were generating state losses and not incentivizing coal mining or the use of Virginia-produced coal as originally intended.

Virginia General Assembly votes to legalize simple possession of marijuana by this July

RICHMOND â The General Assembly voted to end criminal penalties for simple possession of marijuana beginning this July, backing Gov. Ralph Northamâs suggestion to accelerate the legalization timeline. The legislature barely approved bills in February to legalize marijuana and set up a system for retail sales in 2024, with Democrats hoping Northam would send back changes to address various concerns. The Democrat-controlled General Assembly approved several other amendments to the massive marijuana legalization legislation during a one-day session Wednesday to take up the governorâs recommended changes to bills. âThereâs a straightforward injustice to punishing someone for something we agreed should be legal,â said House Majority Leader Charniele Herring, D-Alexandria.
