Summary: The commission opened its first 2026 meeting by calling the roll, confirming a quorum, welcoming new members, and reelecting Delegate Cliff Hayes as chair and Senator Barbara Favola as vice chair. Members also adopted the commission’s annual virtual participation policy, which allows remote participation but does not permit virtual attendance to count toward a quorum. The commission then heard an introductory presentation from VITA CIO Mike Watson, who outlined the agency’s mission and structure, including cybersecurity, infrastructure, governance, and procurement. He emphasized VITA’s role in protecting state systems, managing statewide technology contracts, overseeing major contract recompetes, and developing an approach to artificial intelligence that keeps a human in the loop. Members asked about AI executive orders, cybersecurity support for localities, and what the General Assembly could do to help VITA serve state and local partners; Watson stressed the need for clear policy direction, process modernization, and guardrails that allow innovation without reckless deployment. Executive Director Jody Coon presented the 2026 work plan, including a schedule of meetings, a broader focus on science topics, and planned presentations from Virginia Sea Grant, the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, and a health-tech company. She reviewed prior commission recommendations, noted that several AI-related bills were not introduced in 2026 because of the federal executive order, and outlined this year’s studies and deliverables, including workgroups on .gov domains and caller ID accuracy, a study on age verification, a brief on companion chatbots, and a major study on independent verification organizations. The commission discussed whether the AI study would duplicate work by another legislative body and agreed to proceed with coordination and to include best practices and other-state comparisons in resource briefs; the work plan was then adopted. Dr. Kira Allman and Steve Wimmer provided presentations on federal and state AI policy. They described recent White House executive actions, including an executive order and national framework that seek to preempt burdensome state AI laws, and explained how those actions have chilled some state legislation, especially where BEAD broadband funding could be affected. They also reviewed how different states have responded—some pulling back, others moving ahead with AI bills on chatbots, deepfakes, transparency, and child protections—and suggested Virginia focus on carve-outs, state-specific applicability, regulatory sandboxes, and coordination with other states. Members debated the balance between innovation and guardrails, the risks of federal retaliation, and the need to protect children and address AI harms while avoiding unnecessary conflict with federal policy.

Summary: The meeting focused on several crucial pieces of legislation, notably Senate Joint Resolution 40, which proposed a constitutional amendment to clarify the powers of the governor, the legislature, and the Supreme Court during emergencies. Senator Birdwell presented the resolution, emphasizing the need for legislative involvement during prolonged crises. It garnered broad support, passing with 29 votes in favor and only 1 against. Following this, Senate Bill 871, considered the enabling legislation, was also moved for discussion, with the aim of reinforcing the legislature's authority during emergencies while establishing clear guidelines for the governor's powers.

Summary: The Joint Commission on Cannabis and Hemp Policy met for its first meeting of 2026, elected Senator Lashrecse Aird as chair and Delegate Paul Krizek as vice chair, confirmed a quorum, adopted the virtual participation policy, and heard member introductions. Opening remarks emphasized the commission’s ongoing charge under HJR 497 to oversee Virginia’s transition toward a regulated retail cannabis market, with leaders noting that cannabis possession and home cultivation are already legal but retail sales remain unregulated and that the commission’s work continues despite the veto of the 2026 retail market bill. The commission then received a virtual briefing from NCSL on federal cannabis and hemp developments. Presenters explained the federal rescheduling of certain cannabis products to Schedule III, stressing that it applies only to FDA-approved cannabis drugs and state medical cannabis products, does not legalize adult-use sales, and leaves unresolved issues such as banking and broader tax compliance. They also reviewed the 2026 federal hemp changes narrowing the hemp definition, effective November 12, 2026, and warned of enforcement, interstate commerce, and market-disruption concerns for hemp-derived products. Members asked questions about whether rescheduling could lead to decriminalization and about tax and compliance implications for states. Commission staff then reviewed Virginia’s cannabis-related legislation from the 2026 session. They summarized bills that became law, including a process for modifying certain pre-2021 marijuana-related sentences, a bill allowing the Department of Health to address cannabis oil use in hospitals and convene a work group on medical-care-facility access, and a medical cannabis labeling/delivery measure. They also described SB 543, which strengthened hemp and illicit cannabis enforcement by requiring license decals, creating penalties for unlicensed sales and false decals, authorizing cease-and-desist actions and seizures, establishing a public tip line, directing law-enforcement training, and creating a consumer-protection civil action for certain high-THC products. No public comments were offered, and the meeting adjourned without further action.
