Virginia Budget Locks in Key Changes | Virginia Beach News

Virginia’s budget just got locked in — with major changes impacting workers, gun laws, and family leave. Governor Spanberger’s amendments delay the assault weapons ban until July 2027 to align with existing firearm rules, while launching paid sick and family leave starting July 2027 — offering up to 12 weeks of partial pay. New definitions now include children, parents, siblings, spouses, and dependents living at home as eligible family members.
