HB 1698: Polling places; memorandum of understanding.

Directs the Attorney General to develop and make available a template memorandum of understanding to be used by the general registrars when establishing polling places. The bill requires the general registrar to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the entity or person authorized to grant the use of the facility as a polling place. Using the template prescribed by the Attorney General, the parties will specify the terms for use of the facility, including the hours and dates the facility is to be used, the availability of parking at the facility, and the defined space where the elections are to be conducted. Such memorandum of understanding shall be entered into for a period of five years, with the option to renew at the end of the fourth year. Upon the mutual agreement of the two parties, such memorandum of understanding shall be made void.

SB 1392: Geothermal heat pump property expenditure; establishes a tax credit for taxable years 2017-2021.

Establishes a tax credit, for taxable years 2017 through 2021, for geothermal heat pump property expenditures at a residence in Virginia. The bill defines "geothermal heat pump property expenditure" as any expenditure for equipment that uses the ground or groundwater as a thermal energy source to heat a residence or as a thermal energy sink to cool a residence. The credit would equal 25 percent of purchase or installation expenditures. An eligible individual taxpayer could claim a maximum of 50 percent of his tax liability or $2,500, whichever is less, and carry over unused credit for up to 10 years. In addition, a taxpayer could claim only 25 percent of the total cost of geothermal heat pump property at a single residence, up to a maximum of $10,000. The bill authorizes the Department of Taxation to issue up to $10 million in credits each fiscal year.

SB 1422: Law enforcement, local; fees for concealed handgun permits, courthouse and courtroom security.

Eliminates (i) the fee, under current law up to $35, that a local law-enforcement agency is permitted to charge for conducting the background investigation for a concealed handgun permit and (ii) the requirement that the local law-enforcement agency forward to the State Police any amount assessed by the FBI for providing criminal history record information in the background investigation. The bill makes discretionary the current mandatory fee of up to $10 charged by the clerk for processing a concealed handgun permit application or issuing a permit. The bill increases from $10 to $20 the maximum amount, designated solely to fund courthouse and courtroom security, that a local governing body may assess against a convicted defendant as part of the costs in a criminal or traffic case in district or circuit court.

SB 1383: Coal ash; treatment by utilities, recycling.

Requires electric utilities to recycle as much of their stored coal ash as is imported into the Commonwealth each year, on a pro rata basis. The bill directs the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the State Water Control Board (the Board) to include in any permit authorizing the storage of coal ash a requirement that the utility treat an amount of its coal ash equal to its share of the total amount of coal ash in Virginia multiplied by the amount of ash that is imported that year for use in concrete or other products. The bill authorizes each utility to recover its treatment costs from its ratepayers while requiring the utility to make an effort to sell the treated coal ash. Finally, the bill directs the Department of Transportation to enter into a memorandum of understanding with DEQ as required to permit the transportation and treatment of coal ash.
