Hundreds of General Assembly bills have died as the 2025 session reaches its crossover day, the time when each body hands over its bills to the other for its action.

Sometimes, in a short General Assembly session, in an election year with statewide races, there’s no time to digest a signal about a bill that is under discussion.
Take, for instance, Del. Tony Wilt’s thumbs-up when another member of the House of Delegates Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee suggested a tweak that would make the Shenandoah Valley Republican’s House Bill 2633 on labeling artificial meat more palatable to others on the committee.
That missed signal added his labeling bill to the list of more than 600 measures that have died so far in the legislative session.
