Botetourt Prevention Planning Team inspired bill by Cleaveland
The social hosting ordinance in HB1293 resulted from discussion by the Botetourt Prevention Planning Team in November 2009. The newly elected delegate, Bill Cleaveland, attended the meeting and well, what he heard made an impact. Sharon Coleman chairs the subcommittee on social hosting for the BPPT and has been following the bill’s progress. Our previous story.
