HR 484 Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Judges; nominations for election to general district court.

This bill proposes the nomination of individuals to run for election as general district court judges. It directly affects the judicial branch by identifying candidates for specific court positions. The key provision is the House's formal nomination of these persons to seek public office. Once nominated, these individuals would compete in elections to fill the judge seats. This action is a procedural step in the judicial appointment process rather than a substantive policy change.
