[Psml] Virginia House Bill 1627

[Maryann Jensen]

Hello, List, 

R/C Bill Husted, Chairman of the Government and Partners Relations 
Committee, asked that I post the following information: 

"Virginia H.B. 1627 has been thoroughly reviewed by the Government and 
Partner Relations and other committees in USPS.   I've (R/C Husted) been in 
touch with our Virginia State Legislative Representative, P/R/C George 
Bruner, and the D/5 D/C Kay Simkins on several occasions.  Our USPS position 
is in favor of the bill's passage in the interest of legislating some form 
of mandatory boating education even though the issue of proctored 
examinations is not specifically addressed.  As all of us are aware, USPS is 
very much in favor of proctored exams.  It is our hope that this aspect will 
be dictated later by regulation after the initial bill is passed."

Hope this clarifies the status of the USPS response to this bill.
