Anyone with a passing familiarity with Virginia’s General Assembly knows that it’s a challenge to keep up with a legislative session that is considered “long” at 60 days (and “short” at 45 days) with a thousands bills typically living out their lives in those few weeks. 2026 is a “long session” and includes three pieces of legislation concerning invasive plants and improved capacity for their control. You can get a quick overview of each of them on our News and Legislation page and access resources to quickly and easily signal your support of the bills to your own state delegate and senator.
