The 2025 Virginia General Assembly Session is nearing the end, with adjournment scheduled for February 22nd. While it’s a “short” session, it certainly has been eventful. With the upcoming elections in November, politics have played a major role this session. However, we’ve had some great victories thus far for the House of Medicine and our patients. Our biggest win was the defeat of SB 904 (Sen. Stanley), legislation that would have repealed the current medical malpractice cap. The current law, which was passed in 2012, has helped make Virginia one of the best states for providers to practice in. Repealing this law would have a significant impact on recruiting and retaining providers in Virginia, which would lead to a lack of access for Virginia patients. The bill was defeated in the Senate Finance committee and is dead for the year.
