2024 SESSION
(HB1098)GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1098 which requires certain employers to offer up to 10 days of annual unpaid family bereavement leave.
Many employers already offer employees bereavement leave as part of their benefit package designed specifically for their employees’ needs. This practice should be determined by management and the employees, and not imposed as a one-size-fits-all mandate.
Accordingly, I veto this bill.
