There are two bills HB476 and SB358 before the Virginia Legislature supported by VaCCRA although this posting is from me. These two bills include modest increases in meeting requirements and the Senate bill also includes a form of Resident on Board. These bills provide an excellent opportunity for you as CCRC residents to let your Delegates and Senators know if your Board and management are communicating critical information to residents and consulting with residents on critical issues. No need to identify your particular CCRC if you prefer not to. Leading Age and perhaps a couple CEOs will be testifying that things are perfect and that there's no need for the Legislature to interfere with their management style and disclosure policies which are perfect and will be getting even better.
The overview page for the Legislature is https://lis.virginia.gov/. See HB476 introduced by Delegate Vivian Watts (D) at https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB476 and SB 358 introduced by Senator Ryan McDougle (R) https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/SB358
In addition to contacting your legislator by phone or email you can submit written comments on the bills and when the bills are heard by subcommittee you can testify in person or remotely for one minute.
To comment on HB476 go to
https://hodspeak.house.virginia.gov/committees/H14/bill_feedback
Scroll down to HB476 remembering that these are in numerical order except that bills that begin with a 1, 2, or 3 appear ahead of 476 i.e. HB1000s appears ahead of HB476
Put a check on 476 and scroll to bottom and hit next and it will take you to where you leave your comments.
You can also click on "view comments" and you will see my screed which last time I looked was the only comment.
