A bill introduced by Delegate James F. Almand, D-Arlington, to change the limit for introducing new evidence of their innocence from 21 days to three years passed the House of Delegates. It moved to the Senate Courts of Justice Committee where Senator Kenneth Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, pared down the three years to 45 days. The committee passed this version of the bill. It moves to the Senate floor. Plans are being made for the introduction of a moratorium bill in the General Assembly next year.
