Virginia’s July Law Changes Explained | Washington DC News

Virginia’s July law changes pack a punch for renters, drivers, businesses, and job seekers—here’s what’s new: misdemeanor records can now be sealed, landlords must give 14-day eviction notices (up from 5), and can’t charge for repairs unless tenant caused damage. Restaurants with liquor licenses get easier food-to-beverage sales rules, while speeders might dodge license loss with intelligent speed assistance tech. Stalking now includes electronic harassment, automated cameras patrol school/work zones for traffic violations, and employers can’t ask about past salaries or enforce overly restrictive non-competes—especially for healthcare workers. Plus, a minimum bank balance is now protected from garnishment, though a controversial assault weapons ban remains blocked by court order.
