VAPA is thrilled to announce that Governor Spanberger signed VAPA’s priority legislation into law a few days ago. HB746 permits PAs who have three years of clinical experience to practice without a practice agreement. On behalf of Virginia’s PAs, thank you to the Governor, our patron Delegate Henson, and all the legislators who supported our legislation.
