CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — A new Virginia law in the works will close a loophole for people with autism.
Right now, it’s known as House Bill 2216 in the General Assembly, but it’s fully expected to become law July 1 as the Jamile Hill Law for Justice.
Hill, 29, wandered off from her home off Bainbridge Boulevard in October. She drowned in a swampy area about a mile away.
