Governor Abigail Spanberger’s deadline to take action on legislation passed by the Virginia Senate and Virginia House of Delegates was April 13, 2026. Of the 153 bills tracked by the Virginia School Boards Association Government Relations team that advanced beyond the General Assembly, 130 were signed into law.
The Governor also issued amendments to 23 bills within our legislative tracker, including:
- SB378 & HB1263 – Collective bargaining for public employees.
- HB1207 & SB2 – Paid Family and Medical Leave Insurance Program.
- HB290 – False statements regarding school division or attendance zone residency; penalties.
The full list of the 153 bills—including those enacted into law and those returned to the General Assembly for consideration of the Governor’s amendments—is available for review here.
This week, the Virginia General Assembly will reconvene for two sessions: a Reconvene Session on Wednesday, April 22, followed by a Special Session on Thursday, April 23.
Stay tuned for more updates later this week on the Governor's amendments.
