Total Failed412) Only 13 bills MHV supported FAILED, out of 40 total supported bills
31
Criminal Justice Passed183) All anti-transgender bills FAILED in Virginia
32
Criminal Justice Failed224) No data was tracked on this, but anecdotal evidence from tracking these bills indicates every bill that made it to a second reading in either house would reach a third reading and reach passage.
33
Support Total that Passed275) No significant takeaway from "Senate Only" or "House Only" columns. The "Pass Neither" column significantly outweighs the "Only" columns across all categories, indicating more mental health bills died before reaching an initial vote for passage.
34
Support Total that Failed136) The vast majority of bills that made it to the third reading in either chamber were passed. Only a few were rejected, and, of those few, some were passed after reconsideration.
35
Monitor Total that Passed117) A slim majority of bills introduced relating to mental health were passed (52%).
36
Monitor Total that Failed178) The four categories directly relating to our criminal justice system (Correctional Facilities, Legal Liability, Law Enforcement, and Courts of Law), when combined, constitute 40 bills total (45% of the total). Across all bills tracked, criminal justice bills were the largest category of bills tackling the subject of mental health.
37
Oppose Total that Passed09) The "Youth" were the largest single category targeted by mental health legislation this session, at over 20%.
38
Oppose Total that Failed3look into whether certain Committees/Subcommittees were seen more than others, and whether things passed/failed there more often
