GOVERNOR'S VETO
Pursuant to Article V, Section 6 of the Constitution of Virginia, I veto House Bill 86 which would require Virginians to pay a new fee for a mattress recycling program earmarked for one specific organization.
While I value the need for reliable recycling for mattresses — which crowd landfills, mandating that all mattress retailers that sell to Virginians participate in a single recycling program and increase their prices makes this program unworkable for the Commonwealth.
Accordingly, I veto this bill.
