Reconvene Session Begins at Noon

Members of the Virginia General Assembly will gather at noon today for the Reconvene Session to consider Governor Ralph Northam’s proposed changes to this year’s legislation. The General Assembly won’t have any veto overrides to consider this year as the Governor took action on 552 bills from the 2021 session without any vetoes.

Key items for today's session are amendments to the state budget and legislation that legalizes marijuana in the Commonwealth. The VSBA Government Relations team will be monitoring the reconvene session and will provide an update on the blog and social media today, as well as a full recap in your email box on Thursday.

The Senate of Virginia will meet at the Science Museum of Virginia while the House of Delegates will conduct its work virtually, as it did during the regular session.
