It's Official! HB625/SB161 Signed into Law!

On Monday, Governor Spanberger signed HB625/SB161 into law, giving Virginians an option to choose a health insurance plan with flat-dollar copays for prescription drugs. These capped, co-pay-only health insurance options will be available during 2027's open enrollment (for Virginians with state-regulated insurance). VBCF has been working on this legislation for several years and we appreciate all of our advocates who took action to help get it across the finish line! THANK YOU!

We are grateful to the bill's patrons, Senator Perry and Delegate Henson, for championing this legislation.

Update on Paid Family and Medical Leave Legislation

Governor Spanberger also indicated that she is proposing amendments to (HB1207/SB2), legislation which would establish a paid family and medical leave program in Virginia. This means the General Assembly will consider those amendments next week, during its reconvened session on April 22. Details about what those amendments entail are forthcoming, so please stay tuned.

VBCF is proud to welcome three new members to our Board of Directors. With backgrounds in business, healthcare, and breast cancer care—and personal ties to the mission—Mandi Bishop, Joanne Dixon, MSHA, and Scott Hollenbeck, MD, FACS will help expand our impact across Virginia.
