"...--Senators killed a bill aimed at streamlining state government regulations that Democrats feared would eliminate consumer protections.

--Senators in the Commerce and Labor Committee killed a bill that would have repealed a 2020 law allowing localities to give employees the ability to collectively bargain for a contract.

...

--The same committee voted 9-4 to reject a bill from Sen. Jen Kiggans, R-Virginia Beach, that would ban the teaching of “inherently divisive concepts” in public schools. That bill, in keeping with an executive order from Youngkin, stemmed from GOP efforts to prevent school divisions from teaching students about systemic racism...

"...Democrats also stopped GOP efforts to roll back an increase in the minimum wage to $12 an hour next year, and killed bills to allow people to carry a concealed handgun without a permit and repeal the state law limiting handgun purchases to one per month."
