separate and recycle litter. The Department of Corrections would study the idea, which would be a “self-supporting correctional enterprise.”

Blaze orange rider added
Blaze orange is still alive in the General Assembly, despite being killed in House committee last week.
For the second time this session, the House Committee on Conservation and Natural Resources voted last week to kill a bill that would require hunters in deer season to wear clothing of a bright, blaze orange color.
But the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources, which has passed blaze orange legislation for four straight years, attached the requirement to a hunter education bill introduced by Del. A. Victor Thomas (D-Roanoke), who chairs the House committee.
That leaves Del. Thomas, who has led the fight against mandating blaze orange each year, with the choice of sacrificing his own bill or trying to discard the blaze orange amendment in conference committee.
Sen. Daniel W. Bird Jr. (D-Wythe), who introduced the bill killed by Del. Thomas’ committee last week, proposed the amendment; Truban and Waddell supported it and the hunter education bill, which would require hunters younger than 18 years old to take a hunter education course.
“I don’t see why the two can’t work hand-in-hand and save some lives,” said Sen. Howard P. Anderson (DHalifax), who chairs the Senate committee.
