Sponsor Sen. Jennifer Favola said the bill “consolidates the various pieces of information that have to be reported by the State Board of Local and Regional Jails” into a single annual report and that the report “will include a summary of the deaths of inmates that occur in any of our local or regional jails.” Favola said aspects of the reporting requirement were already authorized in earlier legislation: “This was a bill that passed last year and was signed into law.”

Brian Flaherty, executive director of the Board of Local and Regional Jails, told the subcommittee the board “strongly support[s] this bill” and described the measure as a uniforming and aligning of data so information arrives sooner. Fatima Muwehid of the Humanization Project testified in support online, saying publicly available data on jail and prison deaths “fosters transparency and accountability” and helps identify systemic issues such as inadequate health care and dangerous conditions.

The subcommittee moved to report the bill by voice and the clerk closed the roll; the bill was reported 6 to 0. The transcript does not record any amendments, opposing testimony, or a recorded plan for implementing the consolidated report.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Public Safety Subcommittee Thursday, Feb 6, 2025 7:54 AM - 8:21 AM","oneSentenceSummary","The subcommittee unanimously reported Senate Bill 770, which consolidates multiple reporting requirements for the State Board of Local and Regional Jails into a single annual report that will include summaries of inmate deaths, trends, causes, and recommendations, supporters said.","taxTitle","2025 Legislature VA, Virginia","taxId",77687,"location","Virginia","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6349465,"Subcommittee reports bill to restore reregistration for certain registrants after 2020 code change",262,354000,616000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2238568-629c4a65df8130fe01d3905562db2fa5&start=354&end=616","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2238568-629c4a65df8130fe01d3905562db2fa5/thumbnail_354000.jpg","/articles/6349465/Virginia/Subcommittee-reports-bill-to-restore-reregistration-for-certain-registrants-after-2020-code-change","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6349465-efbe0d89cdc1e74d59b9155608a231ad/orig.mp4?Expires=1771153635&Signature=pBFiY2hIkaaP5XeBVsYYZv1qKjlcOhWq6EuDwL2vF3DoacYMDTkCIdiw4Hy0eOe21Hgp7Oq6QvMKwcXhU9BviahaUUkMwbsohxK~bSszeIBMz73AOpObn6Y-U-HsZzR~9PwJksMR4l08vTgpXHPppr~zT-~Jtb731fjsJwsXsmgCFnn6QiqoNxUkh3ZEpBL-1tFJOCyYeAz2N4r3t94aDOJEtMEMiNet4Jrqskpeyzz4rO8Jg~rQWiat6BLKS02~3rDDyBKWbTysb0Pe7JEGlRTuGjuU9UYzoqDxEWyZNvV3VSwSv-tDDMSPf4S-fK8WzKlkIE~CwrWVu-nVpeAoLQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A Virginia General Assembly Public Safety subcommittee voted 5-0 to report Senate Bill 844, a technical fix to restore periodic reregistration requirements for certain registrants, after testimony from the Virginia State Police that a 2020 code revision inadvertently removed that requirement and limited law-enforcement enforcement.

Sponsor Sen. Amanda Craig said the bill “is basically just a little technical, common sense fix,” explaining that language in §9.1-904 was struck in 2020. Craig said that under the current text tier 1 registrants “register for that 1 year and now they don't have to re register,” and described the prior re-registration schedule as one year of initial registration followed by periodic re-registration — “tier ones… re register for 15 years unless it gets knocked down to 10 years once a year. Tier 2… have to register every 6 months for 25 years.”

Julia Gunderson of the Virginia State Police told the panel the department supports the bill. A State Police witness testified that “under the current law, law enforcement may not arrest tier 1 registrants for failure to register, which creates a public safety risk to the Commonwealth.” Committee counsel said the substitute before the subcommittee added a criminal-impact statement; counsel characterized that as the only change in the substitute.

The subcommittee’s action was procedural: Delegate Wilt moved to report the bill out of the subcommittee and the motion was seconded; the clerk closed the roll and the bill was reported 5 to 0. No amendments or conditions were recorded in the transcript.

The bill was presented as a targeted correction to statutory language rather than a policy change; the sponsor and State Police characterized it as restoring previously intended enforcement authority by reinserting re-registration requirements into the code section referenced in the bill.","A Public Safety subcommittee unanimously reported Senate Bill 844, a technical fix the Virginia State Police said is needed after a 2020 code rewrite removed language requiring periodic reregistration by some registrants, limiting enforcement for failures to reregister.","actionData","errors"]
