Governor signs, amends, vetoes legislation

Gov. Glenn Youngkin took final action on 84 pieces of legislation, signing 64 bills into law, amending 12 bills and vetoing eight bills. 

“Today, I am pleased to sign more than 60 bills into law with bipartisan support, a clear demonstration of what can be achieved when we set politics aside and work together for Virginians. These bills cover a wide range of topic areas but demonstrate my continuing commitment to lowering the cost of living for Virginians, streamlining regulations, supporting our veterans, ensuring safe communities, and improving government efficiency. In addition, I have returned several bills to the General Assembly with amendments, hopeful that they will be reviewed with serious consideration,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.  

Youngkin amended several bills to ensure the final version signed into law is in its best form. 

Finally, the Governor vetoed eith bills to prevent the enactment of laws that would redundantly mirror existing statutes, potentially reverse our advancements in safeguarding election data, and impose excessive regulatory constraints on our Commonwealth.
