This Week From Del. Matt Fariss

The first week of session is completed! During that time, a new speaker was elected, and all appointments were made.

This year, I was selected to serve on the Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources (ACNR) Committee, the Appropriations Committee and the Health Welfare and Institutions (HWI) Committee. I am also honored to serve on the Public Safety Committee as vice-chairman.

I also have several subcommittee appointments, including, the Agriculture Subcommittee in ACRN, the Commerce, Agriculture and Natural Resources Subcommittee and the General Government and Capital Outlay Subcommittee in Appropriations, Subcommittee No. 1 in HWI and Subcommittee No. 1 in Public Safety. Additionally, I was appointed as Chairman of the Health and Human Resources Subcommittee in Appropriations.

You can view all my appointments, legislation, budget amendments and more at lis.virginia.gov. You can view live stream of session and all committee meetings at https://virginiageneralassembly.gov/house/chamber/chamberstream.php.
