Bryan approves bill creating territorial registry for kidney disease, stroke and diabetes

Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. approved Bill No. 35-0207, creating the Territorial Chronic Kidney Disease, Stroke and Diabetes Registry, according to Government House. The 35th Legislature had passed the measure on March 25, 2024.

Government House also said Bryan approved Act No. 8437, which appropriated funding to the Virgin Islands Olympic Committee.

In the same action, he approved Section 4 to correct an oversight in Act 8738 honoring teams and their coaches, Section 5 to change miscellaneous funding from one private organization to all U.S. Virgin Islands boxers, Section 6 to add qualifying part-time students as beneficiaries of free college education, and Section 7 to clarify Act 8681 at the request of the Election System of the Virgin Islands.

Government House said Bryan also removed a reversion clause from a property transfer involving land that would revert to the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority if the Virgin Islands Police Department did not build a police station within five years of the transfer.
