Virginia Senate Passes HB 1752

As I have previously discussed, the Virginia piece of legislation that would provide personal representatives access to the decedent's electronic accounts passed the Virginia House of Representatives by a vote of 96-0 with 4 abstentions. Now, the most recent news out of Virginia is that the Senate has also chosen to pass the bill. The Senate passed the bill unanimously by a vote of 40-0. This comes as a surprise because almost did not make it out of committee, where the vote was only 8-6. A person can continue to follow the progress of the bill here.
