Banned Intentional Balloon Releases in Virginia

Banned the intentional release of balloons in Virginia.

The Virginia Chapter of Surfrider Foundation worked alongside several groups, including the Virginia Aquarium and the Eco Maniac Company, to ban the intentional release of balloons in Virginia including closing the old loophole where releasing under 50 balloons was lawful. Governor Northam signed the bill March 30, 2021.

HB 2159 is now law.
