The Virginia General Assembly’s Special Transportation Session Reconvenes
Wednesday, July 9th

Delegates David Albo (R-Fairfax) and Philip Hamilton (R-Newport News) have introduced legislation (HB 6055) to restore regional funds for Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads nullified by the Virginia Supreme Court decision. At present HB 6055 provides no new statewide maintenance or construction funds. Click here for more information.

Senator Saslaw’s (D-Springfield) SB 6009 passed the Senate (21-Y 16-N) and was sent to the House floor by the Rules Committee without recommendation. Other bills still may be introduced or combined to provide state and regional funds. Click here for more information.
