Delegate Glass presented House Joint Resolution 20 asking JLARC to define a data-driven, equitable framework for managed (planned) retreat and cost-sharing to help localities and vulnerable homeowners after repeated flooding and disasters; testimony in support came from Kim Suttard (Virginia Interfaith Power & Light), Fatima Kamara (Virginia Conservation Network), Jay Ford (Chesapeake Bay Foundation) and others who urged a study rather than direct spending.
