(The Center Square) – Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin is deciding the fate of over 900 bills passed by the General Assembly, including proposals to create a legal retail cannabis market, raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2027 and protect the right to birth control.
With the March 24 deadline looming for most bills, Youngkin has the power to sign them into law, amend or issue vetoes. His office confirmed to The Center Square that the governor is working through the legislative pile.
Beyond cannabis sales and the minimum wage increase, Youngkin is also considering a bill on campaign finance reform, education funding and expanded labor protections.
