Spanberger Signs First Wave of Bills Targeting Health Care, Housing and Energy Cost
The first slate includes pharmacy benefit manager reforms, nursing scholarships and eviction-prevention measures as lawmakers tackle rising costs.
- On Tuesday, Governor Abigail Spanberger signed her first slate of legislation, approving 32 measures out of more than 1,200 sent by the General Assembly to address healthcare, housing, and energy affordability.
- Spanberger campaigned on an affordability agenda to prevent families from choosing between seeing their doctor, paying rent, or keeping lights on—core concerns she heard across Virginia.
- SB669 and HB830 limit pharmacy benefit managers' profit margins to administrative fees, while new housing bills leverage bonding authority for affordable development and expand the Eviction Reduction Program.
- Energy legislation including HB1191 and SB377 permits high-load customers like data centers to invest in new substations, while measures encourage cutting-edge investment in fusion and nuclear energy technology.
- The governor has until April 13 to sign or veto remaining legislation from the General Assembly. Spanberger continues working to build a more affordable future for Virginians.
