Godwin Signs Two School Bills and Vetoes Energy Measure
Governor Mills E Godwin signed two school attendance bills in Richmond with reluctance and vetoed a local energy compact bill. The attendance measure allows religious training to excuse absence and requires judicial review when safety concerns are cited, with input from school principals and the division superintendent. The energy bill, backed by Sen. Wilder and others, would have allowed cities to form electric utilities.
