Ideation
John works with constituents, advocacy groups, and other legislators to decide what bills to push forward.
Drafting
John works with the good lawyers at the Department of Legislative Services to turn ideas into legislation.
Sub-committee
Each bill is sent by the Majority Leader to a subcommittee, where it is considered. Most bills stop here and are sent back for more work.
Full Committee
If the subcommittee approves the bill, the full committee will have a chance to vote on it.
Senate Floor
If the bill passes out of committee, it must be read and passed on the Senate floor.
House Floor
If approved by the Senate, the bill will travel to the House during the 2nd half of session. If the House passes the bill, it goes directly to the Governor.
Conference Committee
If the House makes amendments to the bill, it will go to conference where legislators from both parties and both houses will meet to hash it out.
Governor's Signature
No bill can become a law without the Governor's signature, but he has the option to veto the bill instead, which the House & Senate can override with a 2/3rds majority.

Snow Removal Tips by the VA Dept of Transportation (VDOT)
In case of snow, VDOT is asking residents to please avoid parking vehicles on the street if possible to allow the neighborhoods to be plowed more effectively. If you must park on the street, please park on the odd numbered side to assist VDOT plows.
Clear the areas around mailboxes and fire hydrants. Postal service employees may have to deliver important medicines and need access to mailboxes. Public safety personnel need to locate the nearest hydrant in the event of a fire.
Pay particular attention to parking spots identified as handicap parking spaces for people with disabilities and ensure they are cleared of snow and ice to make them accessible.
If your street needs plowing or treatment, you can call VDOT at 1-800-367-7623.
