GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6, of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 405, which directs the State Corporation Commission and the Department of Housing and Community Development to assist the Commission on Electric Utility Regulation to study electric vehicle infrastructure.
To date, the Commission on Electric Utility Regulation, which was reformed through legislation I signed into law in 2023, is in the process of hiring staff and beginning the ongoing activities required of them by law. No legislation or resolution has yet been passed to direct the Commission to study the issue contemplated by this bill. Therefore, this bill is unnecessary.
Accordingly, I veto this bill.
