[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it really effective Jul 1 or can the Governor implement it now?[/quote]

The Governor will sign tomorrow and kick it back to the legislature with an emergency clause effective either immediately or a date very soon (Senator Petersen said he expected it to be March 1 on Saturday, not sure if that would be the date in the law or the date everything finalizes).

Per the Virginia Mercury and maybe a few other sources, the parlimentariants of both the VA House and VA Sentate agree that the rules on a governor's emergency clause are that it can be passed with a simple majority. So basically it goes through the work of being read however many times it has to be read in each chamber and passed around. Graham Moomaw who has been reporting on this the whole time said maybe that could complete by the end of the week, which sounds optimistic, but maybe they have to read it fewer times for the emergency clause from the governor to be added?
