House and Senate Budget Writers to Unveil Chamber Spending Plans

On Sunday, February 18, 2024, the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee will unveil their respective chamber's 2024-2026 spending plans for the Commonwealth of Virginia. These plans will be the blueprints for a final budget package that will be sent to Governor Glenn Youngkin at the end of the 2024 session in early March. 

The House Appropriations Committee will meet on Sunday 2/18/24 at 1:00 p.m. to unveil their 2024-2026 spending priorities while the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee has yet to announce the time of their meeting. We will update the blog and VSBA Social Media outlets when we learn of the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee meeting time.

We anticipate vast changes from Governor Youngkin's budget plan that was released in December 2023 in both the House and Senate versions of the budget.
