Virginia Governor Glenn Younkin vetoed a two-person crew bill on March 8, but the fight isn’t over yet. BLET Virginia State Legislative Board Chairman Tim Craver said supporters of the measure are seeking to enlist enough members of both chambers to overturn the veto. A two-thirds majority is required to overcome the veto, allowing the bill to become law without the governor’s signature. In February, SB 143 was approved by the Senate and HB 385 was approved by the House.
