Abstract
The 2023 General Assembly Session can best be defined by the success of
bipartisanship. In an era of heightened polarization, Virginia legislators
were able to meet across the aisle on a number of relevant issues. This article
will provide a summary of key bills that were passed during the 2023 Regular
and Special Sessions. The other articles within this issue touch upon the
following topics: the Virginia Commission on School Construction and
Modernization, family law, and the opioid and addiction crises. This article
summarizes legislation passed with bipartisan support in the areas of: drugs,
mental healthcare, labor and commerce, public schools, criminal justice,
child welfare, animal welfare, transportation, insurance, and elections.
