This morning the House Education Committee considered the
Senate version of the Educator Fairness Act (SB1223) which is identical to the HB2151. A teacher’s union based in Northern Virginia
asked the House committee to amend the bill, which it refused to do. The
committee then voted to report the Senate bill to the full House of
Delegates. Later in the day the full Senate took up the House version of
the Teacher Fairness Act. There was an attempt on the floor to amend the
bill. The amendment failed 18-22. The bill then passed the full
Senate. The next step for the House version is to be presented to the
Governor for his signature in a couple of weeks.
