    The document discusses legislation in Virginia that would codify a version of the "castle doctrine", allowing homeowners to use physical or deadly force against intruders without civil liability. The bills have passed their respective houses of origin and will likely become law, meaning Virginia will adopt a castle doctrine after previously being one of the few states without such a law. The Virginia Farm Bureau has no position on the legislation.

    Other Bill of Interest CASTLE DOCTRINE HB48/SB64 (Bell, R/Stuart) codifies a version of the "castle doctrine," allowing the

    use of physical force, including deadly force, by a person in his dwelling against an intruder in the dwelling who has committed an overt act against him or another person in the dwelling, without civil liability. Each of these bills have passed their respective houses of origin and will likely become law. Until this point, Virginia has been one of the handful of states without a castle doctrine. Virginia Farm Bureau has no position on the legislation but we know that it was discussed by some members in policy development process last year.
