Clean Water Virginia Legislative Priorities 2023

February 9, 2023 | By Michael Bochynski

Clean Water Action is working with our allies to successfully help protect the Chesapeake Bay, open space, farmland, and historic sites before state senate and house elections in the fall. In addition to focusing on ensuring green infrastructure funding and reducing plastic pollution, here are some of the organization’s top priorities: Stormwater Local Assistance Fund (SLAF), Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), and Reducing Plastic Pollution.

Virginia State Capitol - Legislative Priorities

Tell Your Legislator to Support Flood Resiliency!

Contact members of the Virginia General Assembly today and urge them to support a comprehensive suite of bills to integrate statewide flood resilience planning and implementation across the Commonwealth.

Tell the Virginia Assembly to Defend the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative!

Join us in opposing a long series of bills that rollback or undermine Virginia’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative with support from numerous partners.

Tell the Senate and House Finance Committee: Protect Our Rail and Transit Funding!

Urge the General Assembly to oppose HB297, HB1144, and SB541 which would suspend the gas tax and cut transportation funding.
