2024 SESSION
(HB4)GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 4, which distributes revenues collected from the plastic bag tax to towns.
Plastic bag taxes fail to achieve their intended goals and burden Virginians amid escalating inflation. Redirecting tax revenues to towns may further encourage governmental reliance on these taxes, exacerbating the issue.
Accordingly, I veto this bill.
