Veto 1 - "SB 1051, would allow utility companies and broadband service providers to park their vehicles on private property temporarily without the owner's consent and prohibit property owners from removing or towing the vehicle for up to 72 hours." "This bill violates the fundamental rights of property owners" - Youngkin

Veto 2 - HB 1536, sponsored by Del. Clinton Jenkins, D-Suffolk, requires the Department of Human Resource Management to update the Grievance Procedure Manual to require the Office of Employment Dispute Resolution to review and issue a written decision when a party fails to comply with the grievance procedures. This bill passed unanimously.

Veto 3 The third bill, SB 1085, sponsored by state Sen Adam Ebbin, D-Alexandria would direct the State Police to convene a work group to look at the issue of vehicle noise. This bill passed with margins well above two-thirds. Youngkin said the bill is unnecessary because the General Assembly made it a primary offense -- that is, sufficient reason for a traffic stop and ticket -- to drive a vehicle with an exhaust system that's not in good working order.

. . .

Youngkin also sent 78 bills bills back for amendments or technical changes.

Veto 1 makes sense to me. I'd be pretty livid if I came home to a utility truck in my driveway or yard with no explanation or anyone around clearly working on something, doubly so if it were left there for days at a time.

Veto 2, no comment because it seems like a lot of procedural HR stuff that makes my brain want to turn off.

Veto 3 I'm not entirely sure about. I agree that lots of vehicles have exhausts and sound systems that are WAY too loud. It sounds like the veto was because the House Bill was specifically about defective exhausts, where as the Senate Bill was more broad about noise? I'd have to read into this one more, but anything that helps curtail unnecessary noise is generally a good thing in my book.

I was actually surprised by this veto. Considering how dominion owns most of our politicians, I expected youngkin to give the Dominion Empire whatever they desire.

I love how it always comes down to "they bribed the other guy instead of me" with these guys.

If this was written as the person asked for the service provider then yes, also 72 hours seems like a long ass time.

Person asking for service would imply consent to come on the property. But I'd be pissed if they abandoned their vehicle for 3 days after a service call and I get in trouble for towing it.

If I was dominion I'd just start selling off my fleet parking lots and telling employees to just leave the vehicle at last service call.. and you could do it Friday to Monday with that law.

I think you would put Dominion out of business pretty quick when you scattered the fleet for 100s of miles and left the employees no way to get to their work vehicle without parking at a random place and then somehow getting their car again after parking at a new random place.

Lol. Funny thought and obviously that's not what I meant. But it's easy to leave large vehicles and equipment on site and take shuttles to the small lots for employees when you're working for months on end in a neighborhood laying underground.

I was just reading the landlord tenant bill of rights and the 24 hour notice rule was waived if you asked for them to say fix your water and a plumber could fix it. That was in there specifically.

The 72 hours seems insane, maybe like 8 hours. IDK?

I can't access the article, but I assume one of these was the porn ID bill? Fascinated to see how that's gonna be enforced

Yes, according to the governor's page Sb1515 was signed. Full text can be found here.

What I enjoy is that Virginia now explicitly defines Sadomasochistic Abuse: "actual or explicitly simulated flagellation or torture by or upon a person who is nude or clad in undergarments, a mask or bizarre costume, or the condition of being fettered, bound or otherwise physically restrained on the part of one so clothed."

The film “The Passion of the Christ” is now legally considered BDSM porn in Virginia.

Oh awesome. Love the use of the term “bizarre”, which is absolutely a concrete and well defined term!

It’s kind of frustrating that they tell us the 3 that we’re vetoed, but nothing about the 700 that are now law…
