This group is strictly for posting proposed legislation ideas in the area of criminal justice reform in Virginia and tracking the progress of any resulting legislation.
Please take the opportunity to visit the "Files" section and review the sample bills, or you can review them at:

Then, feel free to present any of the suggested legislation posted here to your state legislator and ask them to introduce it in the General Assembly.
You will receive action alerts as the bills make their way through the Virginia General Assembly.
