2025 Session Priorities Focus on Medicaid Funding and Playing Strong Defense
What’s happening: January 8, marked the opening day of the 2025 Virginia General Assembly Session. However, the General Assembly met only briefly to pass procedural measures and then recessed with plans to reconvene on Monday, January 13, due to the water issues in Richmond.
We are expecting to play defense on a number of issues this session. Additionally, we will be asking key legislators to champion budget amendments to make continued investments in the Medicaid program.
