2024 SESSION
(HB1028)GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1028, which allows certain localities to require new assisted living facilities to set aside affordable rental units.
Requiring affordable housing unit set-asides as contemplated by this bill can discourage the supply of new housing and shift housing costs onto other residents. I agree with the patron that affordable housing for Virginia’s senior citizens is a priority, but housing is best made more affordable by encouraging development rather than mandating cost-raising regulations on Virginia’s builders.
Accordingly, I veto this bill.
