Tracking Legislation and Voicing Your Opinion
The General Assembly’s website offers several useful features, including member lists, session calendars, live video of floor sessions, and information on legislative processes. Legislative Information System (LIS) provides lists and summaries of all bills, searchable by topic, member, committee, etc. Richmond Sunlight also offers tools for following the General Assembly and for learning about Virginia law.
To express an opinion on legislation, citizens are requested to contact their respective delegate of senator. If you do not know your representatives or their contact information, you can use the online “Who’s My Legislator” service.
