Virginia House Rejects Purchase Penalty Amendment in Ardent Spirits Bill
In Richmond on March 6 the Virginia House of Delegates refused to concur with Senate amendments to the Mapp prohibition bill. The key change would have punished buyers of ardent beverages. The vote stood 76 to 5 against adopting the Senate amendment, with lawmakers arguing it would undermine the law and community life. The session also covered appropriations, including a $760,000 state office building, a repeal of the Mills Act of 1920, pension increases, and veteran aid. The Senate and House debated expenditures, cutting and restoring items to balance a projected state deficit, resulting in a net two-year saving of $59,086.
