Gas-powered leaf blowers; local prohibition or regulation, civil penalty.

Summary

The bill lets any Virginia city or county with at least 2,500 people per square mile adopt an ordinance that can prohibit or limit the use of gasoline‑powered leaf blowers. The ordinance would take effect at least a year after it’s passed and could include a civil fine for violations, with the money used to help residents and businesses buy non‑gas blowers. This gives local governments a tool to reduce noise and emissions.
