Legislator converting a presented concept into a formal drafting request

Senator Craig

Christie New Craig is the Virginia senator identified in the Joint Commission on Technology and Science's 2024 membership roster. Its December proceedings record her request for a device-age bill draft following an ICMEC presentation, connecting her commission role to a specific legislative action.

The recorded action

At the 3 December 2024 meeting, the commission reported that Craig's concept resulted from Bob Cunningham's 6 November device-based age presentation and that she had submitted a Division of Legislative Services draft request. The original request and resulting versions were not acquired. The record establishes initiation of drafting, rather than passage of a law or authorship of every later provision.

From the investigation

ICMEC counterparts: money, participation and an observed drafting step

Virginia's JCOTS annual report records Cunningham's November6,2024 device-based age presentation and the commission's questions. Its December3 proceedings explicitly say Senator Craig's device-age bill concept resulted from that presentation and that she submitted a DLS draft request. This is an unusually clear institutional counterpart for agenda uptake. It is not proof of enacted legislation or authorship of every later provision. The original drafting request and resulting versions are highly targeted next evidence.
