AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Immigration Oversight: Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed HB 1482, SB 352, and Executive Order 16 to limit federal civil immigration enforcement on Virginia property—blocking ICE from using state sites as staging or processing bases and requiring state agencies to verify warrants or judicial orders, with added “know your rights” protocols for schools, courthouses, polling places, and other public-facing locations. Cannabis Stalemate: She also vetoed the adult-use retail cannabis market plan again, arguing the state lacks the timeline, structure, and resources for enforcement “from day one,” keeping legal sales in limbo. Labor Fallout: Spanberger vetoed Virginia’s collective bargaining bill (HB 1263), drawing union backlash. Local Pay: Accomack County approved a 2% bonus for eligible county and state-supported local employees, with payments set for June 15. Policy Watch: A House Health subcommittee hearing took aim at Medicare physician payment instability under MACRA.
