RICHMOND, Va. Governor Abigail Spanberger vetoed House Bill 642 and Senate Bill 542 on Tuesday, blocking legislation that would have established a regulated retail cannabis marketplace in Virginia; the veto came days before a Saturday deadline for the Democratic governor to sign or reject the measures, according to her official statement. Richmond lawmakers, including State Sen. Lashrecse Aird, sponsored the measures and said the legislature had aimed to replace illicit markets with a regulated system; Spanberger cited concerns about enforcement authority, testing, inspections, and resource needs and also vetoed a prescription drug affordability board this week, leaving policymakers to consider revisions or further legislative action.
