Source of votes:

2025 HB2193 (House Public Safety Committee vote on 01/31/25; Passed House on 02/04/25; Passed by indefinitely in Senate General Laws and Technology Committee on 02/12/25)

Editor’s Note - explanation for asterisk (*) by “NAY” and “YEA” in Senate General Laws and Technology Committee: under Virginia law, bills that receive a “passed by indefinitely” vote in committee are subject to reconsideration at a later meeting. The bills die when their assigned committee fails to take additional action on them. In the context of HB2193, the Virginia State Senators that voted “YEA” in committee for “passed by indefinitely” voted to reconsider the bill at a later time, but failed to do so by the time the legislature recessed on February 22. As such, the bill ended up dying, so the Senators that voted “YEA” in committee voted to kill the bill while the Senators that voted “NAY” in committee voted to advance the bill. For the purposes of this scorecard, I consider any action to kill a bill in committee a “NAY” vote and an action to advance a bill a “YEA” vote.
