2024 SESSION
(SB188)GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto Senate Bill 188, which permits certain localities to convert at-large seats to single-member districts via ordinance.
Given the pending litigation concerning the validity of the adopted district system in Virginia Beach, it is prudent to allow the courts to adjudicate on the correctness of the implementation with the expectation that this legislation will be re-introduced once the court’s adjudication has been finalized.
Accordingly, I veto this bill.
GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION
1. After line 30, enrolled
insert
2. That the provisions of this act shall not become effective unless reenacted by the 2025 Session of the General Assembly.
