MINOR

This bill converts HB 2137 from an enrolled legislative bill to its final chaptered form, making it official law. The substantive content of the affordable housing ordinance remains unchanged - it allows specific Virginia localities to increase housing density to create affordable units while exempting those projects from additional housing fund contributions.

Scope change

No substantive scope changes; the bill's applicability to the same localities and requirements remain identical to the enrolled version.

TECHNICAL

Formatting and layout changes from enrolled bill format to chaptered law format, including page headers, chapter numbering (Chapter 399), and approval date (March 24, 2025).

Line breaks and paragraph spacing were adjusted for publication in the official Virginia Acts of Assembly volume.
