WV House and Senate - 03.10.10

House members passed a dozen bills Wednesday including one to extend deadlines for approval of subdivision and other land development projects. And Del. Harry K. White is assuring citizens that the budget bill approved by the House includes money to allow hundreds of senior citizens to remain in their homes instead of going to nursing homes.

The bill to allow optometrists to do some limited laser surgery emerged from committee and was read on the floor for a first time today. However, committee members removed the laser surgery provision and now the bill seems unsatisfactory to both sides in the debate.
