HR 803 Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Judges; nominations for election to general district court.

HR 803 nominates candidates for election to general district court judgeships in Virginia. It establishes a process where the House of Delegates formally nominates individuals to fill these judicial positions. The bill directly affects the selection process for local court judges, bypassing a standard election by having the House propose candidates. This procedural bill passed the House unanimously on February 19, 2025, with the nominated candidates then subject to election.
