Dear ,
The 2027 General Assembly convenes Jan. 13, and the Virginia Interfaith Center for Public Policy is ready. After months of research, we’ve chosen the following four priority bills:
VICPP’s Priority Bills
Child Labor. Kids don’t belong in vape shops. Our bill adds vape shops and other unsafe workplaces to the jobs Virginia's child labor law bans for minors.
Housing Without Barriers. A criminal record shouldn't mean a lifetime without a home. With Legal Aid Justice Center, Nolef Turns and HOME of Virginia, we’re leading a bill to open housing to people with past convictions.
First Steps to Healthier Families. We’re continuing our push to update state law on substance use during and after pregnancy, backing a bill rooted in current addiction science that keeps mothers and babies healthy together.
Access to Maternity Care. Where you live shouldn't determine whether you get prenatal care. With support from March of Dimes, we're leading a bill to break down barriers for rural Virginians and anyone who struggles to reach appointments.
You told us what matters. We listened.
Thank you to everyone who took our recent survey. Your answers shaped the eight additional bills we’re supporting this session. You can find more information about the bills we're supporting in our 2027 Legislative Agenda document.
