2024 SESSION
(HB1264)GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 1264, which relates to juvenile fines, costs, and fees for traffic infractions.
The bill proposes specific provisions regarding fee determination for legal representation and potential waivers based on financial circumstances, largely duplicating the court's existing discretion in these matters.
Ultimately, the bill undermines public safety by sending the wrong message about accountability and responsibility among young offenders.
Accordingly, I veto the bill.
