GOVERNOR'S VETO

 

    Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto Senate Bill 654, which extends the period of delinquency prior to an account being included on a clerk of court’s report of delinquent accounts.

       

    Extending the period of delinquency from 90 to 180 days weakens the accountability traditionally associated with court-ordered fines and restitution, diminishing the court system's ability to enforce accountability and ensure compliance with legal obligations.

       

    Accordingly, I veto the bill.
