Virginia House advances pro forma calendar, adjourns to reconvene tomorrow at 10 a.m.

The Virginia House of Delegates met in Richmond for a short pro forma session during which the clerk announced a pro forma calendar intended to advance readings for second-reading debate and passage votes, and members approved a motion to adjourn and reconvene the following day at 10 a.m.

The clerk of the House announced that a printed pro forma calendar was available in hard copy and online and said its purpose was to advance readings and set up second-reading debate and passage votes on Tuesday.
