2025 Virginia Legislation

VSFA Works to Identify Legislative Priorities

The Virginia State Firefighters’ Association works with our Fire and EMS Partners from across the Commonwealth in a process of gaining consensus on legislative priorities.  This can be viewed as a daunting task that requires significant collaboration and, often times, compromise by all entities/stakeholders involved. The result of this process, will be the development of the 2024 Virginia Legislative Priorities and Issues document that will be sent to the Virginia General Assembly.
