SB 1093 Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program authority; right of entry.

Summary
Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program authority; right of entry. Removes the restriction on localities that operate regulated municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4) to only enter on those properties from which a discharge enters their MS4 and allows such localities to, at reasonable times and under reasonable circumstances, enter any establishment or upon any property, public or private, for the purpose of obtaining information or conducting surveys or investigations necessary in the enforcement of the Virginia Erosion and Stormwater Management Program. However, the bill restricts operators of an MS4 that are not a locality, or any duly authorized agent thereof, to only enter on those properties from which a discharge enters their MS4. This bill is identical to HB 2008.

This bill converts SB 1093 from an enrolled legislative bill to a chaptered act, officially adding it to the Virginia Code as Chapter 724 of the 2025 Reconvened Session. The substantive content of the law regarding stormwater management authority and right of entry remains unchanged, with only formatting and layout adjustments made during the final chaptering process.
TECHNICAL

Changed document status from 'Enrolled' to 'Chaptered' with updated session designation from '2025 Session' to '2025 Reconvened Session' and added approval date of May 2, 2025.

Reformatted text layout with additional spacing and line breaks throughout the document, but no substantive policy language was added, removed, or altered.

Repositioned the bill number [S 1093] and approval date to match standard chaptered act formatting requirements.
