GOVERNOR'S VETO

 

    Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 335, which directs the Department of Labor and Industry to study increasing tipped minimum wages. 

    This bill would have required the Department to conduct a study with a predetermined outcome without studying whether tipped minimum wages should, in fact, be increased. In other jurisdictions that have increased tipped minimum wages, many tipped workers have seen a decrease in earnings. 

    Accordingly, I veto this bill.
