During yesterday’s House Health, Welfare & Institutions subcommittee, House Bill 2183 failed to move forward after a tie vote. With support from the Governor’s Office and our patron, Delegate Roxann Robinson, VCNP is working through the legislative process. HB 2183, like all legislation, is not dead until the General Assembly adjourns in March. 

We thank all of you for your support and will continue to update you on legislative developments. The General Assembly moves and changes quickly. Look to VCNP to provide the latest updates.

If you have questions about the legislative process, please contact us at vcnp@vcnp.net.

VCNP is excited to share HB 2183. Members will receive communications about the status of our bill, as well as requests to connect with legislators to support our bill.
