GOVERNOR'S VETO

Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto Senate Bill 286, which adds a survey of the property to the list of materials that a purchaser of the property can review as part of exercising whatever due diligence the particular purchaser deems necessary with respect to a historic district designated by a locality.

This legislation adds unnecessary language into the Code where clear protections are already in place to notify potential home buyers of further requirements when making changes to historic homes.

Accordingly, I veto this bill.
