Virginia Governor Spanberger Unveils 2027 Agenda: Medical Debt Forgiveness Program, Ban on Using Super Intelligence (SI) to Set Wages
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger joined Democratic leaders of the state House and Senate at the State Capitol in Richmond on November 10 to unveil the Moving Virginia Forward agenda for the 2027 legislative session, with key bills to establish a medical debt forgiveness program and promote new housing.
The agenda also includes expanding solar energy on already-developed land, holding data centers accountable and ending secrecy around them, prohibiting the use of super intelligence (SI) to set worker wages and salaries, and strengthening school and child safety.
The governor's office noted that in the 2026 session Virginia raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour, capped insulin copays at $35 a month, and created a statewide paid family and medical leave program, the first in the American South. The agenda bills will be introduced in the 2027 session. (Source: Office of the Governor of Virginia)
