Several bills are making their way through the Virginia General Assembly. Many of these bills passed on Friday could impact you.

One of the bills that was passed by the House yesterday was legislation to allow ABC stores to stay open on Sundays.

Bigger cities in Virginia do allow ABC stores to open on Sundays, but in more rural areas like the Valley, these stores are closed.

The House of Delegates voted to pass this bill which would open all stores after 1 p.m.

Ben Cline, Delegate of the 24th District, says he is against the bill. He says it is not necessary for people to buy liquor seven days a week in our area.

"Sundays are generally meant for a day at rest and spending time with family, and so I think government can also take a day off and ABC stores should probably stay closed," said Cline.

This bill still needs to go through the Senate. The Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control reports making nearly 700 million dollars in sales last year.

And if stores open on Sundays, that would bring in even more revenue to the state.

Gun rights is another issue up for debate in the House. Cline and other Virginia lawmakers want to ease some of our gun laws.

One bill that is on the table is getting rid of the time restriction that you need to wait between gun purchases.

Currently, there is a law in Virginia that requires you to wait a month after you buy a gun before you can buy another one.

But some delegates like Cline say that time restriction is not necessary. He says we all have the right to bare arms so people should be able to buy as many as they want in any given time frame.

This bill will move forward next week.

Another hot topic that lawmakers are discussing is the HPV vaccine. The House of Delegates passed a bill this week that would get rid of the law that requires girls to get that vaccine.

Cline is in favor of this. He says getting the vaccine should be the family's decision.

"I supported the bill because I think it's a choice best left to families and not left to a decision to be made by school officials and by government," said Cline.

Cline says when dealing with children, it is always better to leave the decision up to the parents. That bill will now go through the Senate.
