On February 27, 2021, the General Assembly passed a multitude of criminal justice reform measures, including the abolition of capital punishment, legalization of marijuana by 2024, and several others.
However, not included in the passed reform measures was a bill to scrap mandatory minimum sentences; a measure that Virginia legislators have been weighing for quite some time. This bill was a key goal of reformers, leaving many disappointed with the outcome.
