(HB2743)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 2743, which would establish a prevailing wage standard for all underground infrastructure projects involving public service companies exceeding $250,000.

If passed, this proposal would raise the cost of construction for underground public service companies, ultimately raising prices for consumers and ratepayers.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
