The 2021 legislative session officially adjourned on Monday, but work is far from over for the General Assembly. A special session, called by Gov. Ralph Northam, begins on Wednesday to finish up this year’s work. Going forward, the House and Senate will only consider bills from the other body, having finalized their own proposals.

Others will take longer, as conferences of senators and delegates meet to iron out differences between their proposals. Northam indicated the special session will last two weeks, but no official end date has yet been announced.
