2024 Reconvened Session Workload - VPAP
Today, the Virginia General Assembly is required to reconvene to consider the governor’s amendments and vetoes to bills that passed both chambers during the 2024 regular session. They will be considering a record high number of bills, due in part to Gov. Youngkin vetoing 153 bills this session, more than any of his predecessors in the past 24 years. This does not include the record number of budget amendments that must also be considered.
