Virginia water legislation
Water in the Virginia General Assembly--Updated 4/15/08 (Final for 2008)
Cartoon by George Wills
At this site, the Water Center maintains inventories of water-related measures considered by the Virginia General Assembly in various years. Each year's inventory lists measures that dealt with water resources or with land activities with a relatively direct impact on water. The inventory also includes some bills that may affect water resources indirectly, such as certain bills about air pollution, electricity generation, or transportation. Each year's inventory, at the end of the General Assembly session, is published in the center's Virginia Water Central newsletter. The inventories come from the Virginia Legislative Information System (LIS) Web site. Most measures are located by searching the following LIS subject categories: Budget; Conservation; Energy Conservation and Resources; Fisheries and Habitat of Tidal Waters; Game, Inland Fisheries and Boating; Water and Sewer Systems; and Waters of the State, Ports and Harbors.
