Virginia lawmakers pass bill allowing local school construction sales tax referendums, heading to governor.

Virginia lawmakers have passed a bill allowing localities to hold referendums to impose a 1% sales tax surcharge for school construction, addressing a $25 billion backlog. The bill, which has passed both chambers, now goes to Governor Glenn Youngkin, who has previously vetoed similar measures. If vetoed, key provisions are embedded in the Senate's budget, keeping the issue alive in budget negotiations.
