Committee on Rules and Judiciary

The Committee on Rules and Judiciary has scheduled its Inaugural Legislative Symposium for Monday August 19, 2024, at 9:30 AM in the Frits E. Lawaetz Legislative Conference Room, St. Croix, Virgin Islands to discuss proposed changes to the Virgin Islands Code. The Symposium will continue August 26, 2024, at 9:30AM in the Earle B. Ottley Legislative Hall, St. Thomas, Virgin Islands at which time, the Committee members will act on the proposed legislations and amendments.

The Legislative Symposium’s purpose is to expedite proposed amendments to the sections of the Code that directly impact each department’s operations and functions as this event initiates the urgent process of updating antiquated sections of the Virgin Islands Code. The goal is for the agencies to present areas of the Code that require the immediate attention of the Legislative body. As a legislator and, most importantly, as the chair of this committee, it is my duty to provide all stakeholders with the opportunity to make the necessary, time-sensitive, well-needed amendments.

The dates and location for the Symposium are as follows:

• Thursday, August 19, 2024, St. Croix in the Frits E. Lawaetz Conference Room – 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM; and
• Thursday, August 26, 2024, St. Thomas in the Earle B. Ottley Legislative Hall – 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM
