General Assembly Goes Into Overtime

The 2019 short session of Virginia’s General Assembly was extended an additional day when the Senate, by a vote of 40-0, and the House with a vote of 79-13, needed additional time before passing the budget.

Reporter Michael Martz with the Richmond Times-Dispatch wrote:

The impasse over budget action arose two days after Gilbert and Republican leaders insisted on a procedural rule to prevent Democrats from bringing ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the House floor for a vote. ERA ratification was defeated in a House committee earlier in the session.

House Democrats had insisted Saturday on adhering to the 48-hour rule for acting on the proposed budget revisions, which had gone online just after 11 a.m. Both chambers received their first briefings on the proposed changes that afternoon.

“There’s a 48-hour rule for a reason,” said House Minority Leader Eileen Filler-Corn, D-Fairfax. “I think literally people want more time to look at the budget. It’s one of, if not the most important responsibilities we have.”

The bitter political battle over the ERA loomed over the budget showdown, as Democrats turned the procedural tables.

Sunday will tell if the 2019 session will be able to wrap up its work.
