Hundreds of changes to Virginia law will take effect this summer.

The big picture: Gov. Youngkin has signed 777 of the 1,046 bills lawmakers passed this year, his office announced Monday night.

• He amended another 116 and vetoed the rest.

Why it matters: Some legislation that will become law, like protecting same-sex and interracial marriage and a ban on legacy admissions, have been front and center since their passage. Others have flown under the radar.

Here's a rundown of some of them:

🎰 Richmond is no longer eligible to host a casino.

🍹 Cocktails to go are now permanent.

🔍 The use of search warrants for menstrual health data often stored in period-tracking apps is prohibited.

📝 The definition of a hate crime has expanded to include ethnicity.

🚨 It's a felony for a parent or guardian to give gun access to a child deemed a threat.

⛑️ All state agencies, plus public elementary and high schools, must carry opioid overdose reversal treatments.

🧠 School boards can adopt policies to increase access to mental health resources for students by expanding teletherapy options.

👶 Localities can waive zoning permit requirements to have child care programs inside office buildings.

🚽 Retail establishments that don't have public bathrooms, but have private ones for employees, are required to allow you to use it if you're pregnant or have IBS.

What we're watching: Lawmakers will be back in session on April 17 to respond to Youngkin's 116 amendments, which include letting localities ban skill games and a push to fast track the Petersburg casino.

Youngkin has vetoed more bills than any governor in modern Virginia history.

The big picture: The previous record-holder, former Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe, had a Republican-controlled legislature for most of his term, and vetoed 120 bills.

• Youngkin issued 153 this year alone, and a total of 194 since taking office in 2022.

Between the lines: Vetoed bills can still make a comeback in the legislature, but that requires a two-thirds majority vote Democrats don't have.

Here's a few Youngkin said "no" to:

🔫 A ban on assault weapons.

🍃 Any hope of having a legal retail weed market.

👨‍⚖️ The chance at modified sentences for people in jail or on probation for some marijuana-related offenses.

🩺 Bills shielding abortion providers from extradition to states where abortion is illegal.

💰 Raising the minimum wage to $13.50 next year and $15 per hour by 2026.

💊 Creating a Prescription Drug Affordability Board, which advocates say could reduce drug costs for residents.

Students from Richmond Public Schools are going viral on TikTok for guessing the lyrics to famous songs from the '90s and early 2000s.

Why it matters: Nearly a half a million people have gotten to see how cool RPS students are — and that they didn't know Biggie Smalls' "Juicy," but we'll let that slide.

The big picture: YouTuber and actor Afo Oyeneyin went to Armstrong High School to do the "Finish the Lyrics" trend in which someone plays a song clip and another person takes the mic to, you guessed it, finish the lyrics.

• The video shows students dancing along in the hallways, in classrooms, outside the football fields and on the basketball courts.

Among the 11 songs students had to know:

• "Can We Talk "by Tevin Campbell (1993).
• "Dilemma" by Nelly and Kelly Rowland (2002).
• "In Da Club" by 50 Cent (2003).
• "When I See U" by Fantasia (2006).

Why it matters: They're giving away Richmond beer-themed swag in celebration.

How it works: All you have to do is visit five of the roughly 35 local breweries on the Richmond Beer Trail and check in on the app — and boom, a free cap or beanie is yours.

Fun fact: There are 20 beer trails in Virginia, but Richmond's is the largest, per Richmond tourism.
