Virginia’s General Assembly has rejected Governor Abigail Spanberger’s amendments to key legislation, including bills on retail marijuana sales and prescription drug pricing.
Lawmakers declined to adopt changes that would have delayed cannabis market launch, altered drug affordability measures, and modified collective bargaining rights.
Spanberger must now decide whether to sign the original bills, veto them, or allow them to become law without her signature, highlighting tensions within the Democratic leadership.
