The 2008 Regular Session of the Virginia General Assembly convened on Wednesday, January 9, 2008. This General Assembly session is scheduled to adjourn March 8, 2008 and, according to the provisions of the Constitution of Virginia, the Reconvened Session will be held April 16, 2008.

The period for prefiling of bills began on Monday, November 19, 2007.  Special provisions are applicable to requesting bills for prefiling. Prefiling saves the Commonwealth money in the form of reduced printing costs and enables the Legislative Services Division greater time to prepare a quality draft. It also facilitates the orderly flow of bills through the legislative process. Limitations on bill introductions do not apply to prefiled bills.
