Lawmakers took up major amendments to bills they passed earlier this year on “veto day,” a one-day special session held on Wednesday. They approved Gov. Ralph Northam’s amendment legalizing marijuana this year, and signed off on an independent investigation into the state’s government watchdog agency.
The General Assembly approved Northam’s request to set aside $250,000 for the investigation, which concerns the agency’s inquiry into the parole board’s decision to release Vincent Martin, who was convicted for the 1979 killing of a Richmond police officer.
