We just closed out week three of session and Legislative Day is nearly here! In this video, we provide details on legislation that allows for both opportunities and challenges when it comes to utility-scale solar development and its impact on agriculture. If you can’t join us for Legislative Day, we encourage you to contact your legislators to share opposition to HB636, SB567 and SB697.

The second week of the General Assembly has concluded with subcommittees and committees beginning to meet and discuss bills. Both the House Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee and the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources met this week and heard several bills of interest to Farm Bureau. Today, Friday, January 19 is the last day for bills to be filed by legislators, and Governmental Relations is continuing to monitor and review the latest bills as they arrive.
Welcome to the 2024 General Assembly session! It’s a new year with many new faces. Attributed to redistricting and retirements, Virginia experienced unprecedented turnover in the House and Senate during the November elections. And we’re seeing new faces in Virginia Farm Bureau’s governmental relations team as well. This year, our weekly updates are brought to you by Katelyn Jordan, who joined us about a year ago, and Jake Tabor, who joined just a few weeks ago. Meet Jake in the this video and watch until the end for a preview of our Legislative Day on January 28-29.
