Votes at a glance: House clears scores of bills across health, education, utilities and local government

Summary
During a lengthy calendar session the House recorded final passage on many third‑reading bills (examples: HB 365 Ayes 96 Noes 2; HB 43 Ayes 63 Noes 35; HB 70 Ayes 82 Noes 16), and advanced dozens more to third reading or engrossment.
The Virginia House of Delegates processed a broad third‑reading calendar on Feb. 10, 2026, recording final votes on multiple bills and carrying others forward.
Selected roll‑call tallies announced by the clerk on the floor include:
- HB 365 (emergency-vehicle traffic exemptions): Ayes 96, Noes 2 — bill passed. - HB 43 (abolishing the common‑law crime of suicide): Ayes 63, Noes 35 — bill passed. - HB 70 (Resilient Virginia revolving fund projects, nature‑based solutions): Ayes 82, Noes 16 — bill passed. - HB 167 (tax exemptions for Confederate organizations): Ayes 62, Noes 35 — bill passed. - HB 915 (local taxation extension for federal government shutdown): Ayes 68, Noes 30 — bill passed.
Many other bills across education, health, utilities and local government were either recorded as passed on final reading or were engrossed and advanced to third reading during the same session. The transcript shows the clerk closing the roll, announcing tallies, and confirming passage for each item; individual member votes are not printed in the public floor transcript segments included here.
Why it matters: The votes move a diverse set of policy changes into the next stages of the legislative process — final‑passage bills are enacted per the acts of assembly process and bills advanced to third reading remain eligible for final floor action.
