Glenn Youngkin<\/a> announced on Tuesday his plans to pay back the people and businesses who were fined by the state for violating <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/wapos-taylor-lorenz-cheers-on-chinas-lockdowns-as-ccp-violently-cracks-down-citizens\">Covid lockdown policies<\/a> put in place by his predecessor, Democratic former Gov. Ralph Northam.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>In an executive order, Youngkin commanded all state enforcement agencies, boards, and commissions, to report the fines and disciplinary actions they imposed upon those individuals and entities. According to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.governor.virginia.gov\/newsroom\/news-releases\/2022\/december\/name-944785-en.html\">official statement<\/a>, a reimbursement process is in the works for his upcoming budget proposal.<\/p>\n<p>The governor also announced he will direct agencies to cease any further collection and enforcement of any lockdown-related fines, fees, or suspensions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am today requiring a statewide review of Covid-19-related penalties imposed by the Northam administration. The fact that businesses are still dealing with Covid-19 related penalties and fines is infuriating. Livelihoods are on the line,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/gov-youngkin-appears-to-prepare-for-a-2024-presidential-bid\">Youngkin<\/a>. &#8220;In the previous administration, we saw our government shut down businesses, close our schools, and separate us from each other. While we can&#8217;t undo the damage done during the Northam administration, we are taking action going forward to end COVID-era draconian overreach.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I look forward to working with the General Assembly to address this, forgive COVID fines and fees and restore licenses that were unjustly suspended,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The governor&#8217;s office statement added that the fine reimbursements will not apply to instances where the violation was in relation to practices &#8220;intended to protect the health and safety of individuals, patients, residents, and staff of hospitals, nursing homes, certified nursing facilities, hospices, or assisted living facilities.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Virginia Gov.
