The Virginia General Assembly met in short session from mid-January through late-February, 1999 and considered several thousand pieces of legislation. Enactment or defeat for hundreds of these bills, resolutions and budget amendments could dramatically alter 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 made available each Monday morning throughout the 1999 General Assembly Session.
