Summary

The City of Fairfax 2025 Legislative Program is the annual process by which the City Council adopts its legislative priorities and positions to be advocated before the Virginia General Assembly. A public hearing was held on November 12, 2024, during which staff presented proposed edits and additions to the program and two members of the public spoke in support; no Council action was taken at that meeting. On December 3, 2024, the Council held a work session discussion of the program with Senator Saddam Salim and Delegate David Bulova, also without formal action. The program was then placed on the consent agenda for December 10, 2024, as agenda item 7G, for full Council consideration and adoption.
