(SB1118)

GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto Senate Bill 1118, which requires localities in Planning District 8 to create a registry of cemeteries on private property.

All localities already have the option to pass an ordinance to address this issue. It would be an overreach of the Commonwealth to mandate private landowners in a specific region to comply with this law.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
