The 2023 Session of the Virginia General Assembly adjourned Sine Die on Saturday February 25 with lawmakers adopting a four-page stop-gap measure to revise spending negotiations continue on revisions to the 2022-24 biennial budget. The stop-gap agreement includes funding for local school divisions to receive at least as much revenue in the current budget year as was anticipated before the state discovered an error in the calculation tool for state funding in absence of the grocery tax which was passed by the General Assembly last year.
We anticipate negotiations on revisions to the budget will begin in the near future with a potential Special Session called by Governor Youngkin later this spring. VSBA's Government Relations team will continue to advocate for the association's budget priorities as lawmakers meet to hammer out a final deal.
