(HB1803)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1803, which directs the Department of Human Resource Management (DHRM) to convene an advisory group to provide advice on the establishment of a career group for this occupation.

This legislation is unnecessary. The Department of Human Resource Management already has the authority to research the role of behavioral analysts who are employed by the state and thus the issue does not require legislative action.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
