The politically divided Virginia General Assembly has convened in Richmond to work through scores of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s proposed amendments to legislation during a one-day session.

The legislature could also challenge the Republican governor’s three vetoes Wednesday.

Of the 819 measures the General Assembly sent to Gov. Youngkin during the regular session that ended in late February, the governor signed 738 into law and proposed amendments to 78. Some of the changes lawmakers are set to take up Wednesday are small or technical; for other measures Gov. Youngkin sought a more wholesale rewrite. Lawmakers won’t be voting on the full state budget bill, as negotiators have yet to reach a deal.

In one of its first actions, the state Senate honored Abigail Zwerner, a Newport News first-grade teacher who was shot and wounded by a 6-year-old student in January.

Ms. Zwerner stood with her family as she was given a framed resolution commending her for her “heroic actions” and devotion to the safety of her students.

Police have said that after Ms. Zwerner was shot, she ushered her students to safety and was the last one to leave the classroom, despite life-threatening injuries. She collapsed in a school office and spent two weeks in the hospital. Since then, she’s had four surgeries and is still recovering from wounds to her hand and chest. No one else was hurt in the shooting.
