## Resource

Virginia’s July 1st law roundup packs a punch: stricter rules on semi-automatic guns and high-capacity magazines (existing owners unaffected), a Clean Slate Act sealing over 100K misdemeanor and low-level felony records for those clean for seven years, mandatory salary ranges in job ads to boost pay equity, speed-limiting devices for repeat offenders to curb dangerous driving, and a statewide ban on foam takeout containers to fight waste.
