As part of the role of

the Public Policy Committee, we aim to inform the members of the Chamber on legislative issues that may impact your business:

House Bill 1 passed both chambers. This legislation raises the minimum wage to $13.50 as of January 1, 2025 and then to $15 as of January 2026 has passed and the bill has been sent to Governor Youngkin for his signature or veto.

One of the goals for 2024 is to grow the relationships with the local elected officials. The Public Policy Committee has member who attend and are watching the agendas of the Winchester City Council, Frederick County Board of Supervisors and the Clarke County Board of Supervisors to stay informed on issues that impact the business community. We also invite you to reach out to the elected officials and the staff in all the jurisdictions should you need information about various topics. In all areas, the staff and the elected officials encourage citizens to contact them with questions and to attend public meetings, when possible, to hear information directly. Frederick County, for example, has a cable channel that broadcasts the Board of Supervisors meetings as well as the Planning Commission meetings.

If you are interested in reviewing meetings and agendas before or after they occur, the websites for all of the jurisdictions are chock full of helpful information.
