We have entered the final stretch of the session with only 13 days left! All bills that are still alive have crossed over into the the other chamber and are making their way through to the respective floors for voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After both chambers pass a bill, the Speaker of the House of Delegates, Don Scott, and Lieutenant Governor, Winsome Sears, sign the legislation. The bill is then sent to the Governor, Glenn Youngkin, for approval, where the Governor may: 1) sign the bill into law; 2) amend the bill and return it to the General Assembly for approval; 3) veto the bill and return it to the General Assembly, where the House of Delegates and the Senate may override the veto by a two-thirds vote of both houses; or 4) take no action, and the bill becomes law without the Governor\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After being signed by the Governor, the bill is sent to the Clerk of the House of Delegates (Keeper of the Rolls of the Commonwealth) and is assigned a Chapter number. All Chapters of a Session are compiled and bound as the Acts of Assembly. Bills enacted at a Regular Session (or the Reconvened Session which follows) are effective the 1st day of July following the adjournment of the Regular Session unless another date is specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
