The Virginia
General Assembly met in long session from mid-January through mid-March, 1998 and
considered several thousand pieces of legislation. Enactment or defeat for hundreds of
these bills, resolutions and budget amendments could have dramatically altered Virginia's
aging and health policies. The Alzheimer's Association Virginia
Advocacy Coalition has provided information here on many of these legislative
initiatives.
The following information is provided about selected budget amendments:
- document number and current status from introduction to the Governor's veto or signature
- hyper-link to the full-text of the budget amendment
Updates were available each Monday morning throughout the 1998 General Assembly Session
which ended in mid-March. The final update was made soon after the May 23rd deadline for
Governor Gilmore to either sign or veto legislation where the General Assembly rejected
his amendments during the April "reconvene session."
