Virginia Governor Youngkin ends COVID-19 penalties and fines

Virginia residents who paid COVID-19 fines and fees may be getting their money back. The state's governor, Glenn Youngkin, signed an executive order on Tuesday asking officials to develop a reimbursement process for people and businesses who paid unjust COVID-19 fines and fees. He also directed enforcement agencies, boards, and commissions to report all fines, fees, and suspensions related to the COVID-19 shutdown violations. The governor says he wants further collection and enforcement actions to be halted.
