Legislation Signed To Make Virginia More Vetrepreneur Friendly

Flag

Last week Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell signed a package of 27 bills ranging from fishing licenses to disability claims and employment benefits, designed to increase the state's overall veteran-friendliness. One bill, the

Exemption of handling fee for veterans opening small business (HB 262/SB 455), waives the Department of Business Assistance’s handling fee for veterans when they establish a small business through the one-stop small business permitting program.

McDonnell said “All of the legislation recognized today will take us a step further and ensure our veterans are receiving our gratitude and thanks when they return home. The overwhelming bipartisan support of our veterans strikes the right tone that I look to build upon.  I look forward to working with our veterans and their families during my administration so we can make Virginia the best state in America for veterans.”
