During the General Assembly session, Mason will follow bills that could have an impact on the University's operations. Members of the faculty and staff who have been designated to review bills that relate to their area of expertise are called Issue Advisors. The Office of State Government Relations communicates regularly with Issue Advisors as bills move through the legislative process, ensuring that stakeholders are up-to-date on the status of priority bills.
Just below you will find a list of bill categories. Each category links to a page populated with the list of bills the University is following in that area and their status from the end of the prior day.
Curriculum, Dual Enrollment/Pathways, Graduate Education, Global, Law School, Libraries, Research, Nursing Education
Admissions, Financial Aid, Immigration, Military, Residency

If you wish to see up to the hour status of any bill, you must visit the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Legislative Information Service to see your bills in their most recent form. If you would like to suggest that a particular bill be added to the list, please e-mail Lauren Posey with the appropriate bill number and why it is of interest to Mason.
