I don’t know. If the bill has been watered down, as the summary seems to suggest, UVa is already compliant. The bill requires a policy. The College has a policy.

I find it hard to believe that any public school in the Commonwealth is lacking a policy for awarding AP and IB credit because we have so many AP and IB high schools here. I could see a public school in a state that doesn’t have as many IB schools being behind the times, though.

Right now, 4-5 on an AP exam and 5-7 on an HL IB exam get credit here (with the exception of AP Human Geography, which doesn’t get any credit right now).
