Senate forwards three board‑term bills to governor; votes at a glance
Summary
The Senate approved three bills amending terms and membership for territorial boards — historic preservation commissioners, physical therapy appointees and the barbering/cosmetology board — each passed by recorded roll calls and will be sent to the governor.
The Senate of the Virgin Islands on Oct. 30, 2025, voted to approve three short bills changing appointment terms and board membership rules and forwarded all three to the governor for consideration.
The measures included Bill No. 36‑0140, which clarifies the term of service for members of the Historic Preservation Commission; Bill No. 36‑0141, which adds a term of service for appointees to the Board of Physical Therapy; and Bill No. 36‑0142, which changes the maximum number of members on the Board for the Licensing of Barbering and Cosmetology. Each bill was read by the clerk, followed by roll call votes.
Roll-call outcomes announced by the clerk and presiding officer were: 36‑0140 — 12 yeas, 3 absent (favorably voted); 36‑0141 — 12 yeas, 3 absent (favorably voted); and 36‑0142 — 12 yeas, 3 absent (favorably voted). The Chair said each bill "has been favorably voted upon by this body and will be forwarded to the governor for further consideration and action."
These items were presented and decided on the consent/housekeeping portion of the agenda and drew no substantive floor debate in the transcript.
The Senate adjourned after completing the day's business and announced the next session date on Oct. 30, 2025.
