New law requires that hospitals, under certain conditions, educate patients and families about post-charge treatment and services.
Alicia Lannes lost her battle with a heroin addiction on a chilly March morning four years ago—but her family hopes that a new law inspired by her memory will save other lives. Since his 19-year-old daughter's death of an overdose, Greg Lannes, his family and other neighbors affected by drug abuse have devoted countless hours to educating parents, teens and neighbors about the dangers of drug abuse.

A number of Virginia lawmakers are promoting bills which would allow local governments to put more public notices online instead of in newspapers.

By Zack Budryk Capital News Service RICHMOND – At least a half-dozen bills before the Virginia General Assembly are causing alarm among voting rights activists. They see the proposals as part of a broader trend in state legislatures across country. Last year, lawmakers in states such as Ohio, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Tennessee passed laws requiring voters to show more identification before voting. Critics say those laws disenfranchise low-income, elderly and student voters. “There is legislation [in the assembly] that will erect barriers to people registering to vote, get in a ballot or even trying to assist somebody else who’s voting,” said Sen. Mamie Locke, D-Hampton, who chairs the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus. Delegate …
