Bill > SJR139

This joint resolution, agreed to by both the Senate and the House of Delegates, formally confirms appointments made by Governor Abigail D. Spanberger to key state positions, as communicated to the General Assembly on February 2, 2026. Specifically, it approves individuals to serve as heads of various agencies, including the Commissioner of the Department of Health Professions, the Director of the Department of Historic Resources, the Director of the Department of Criminal Justice Services, and the Commissioner of the Virginia Employment Commission. Additionally, it confirms an appointment to the Board of Visitors of George Mason University, a governing body for the university. These appointments are made by the Governor and, in most cases, serve at the Governor's pleasure, meaning they can be removed at any time. The General Assembly's confirmation is a necessary step in the appointment process for these significant roles within the state government.
