NEW: Abigail Spanberger just signed a law ending the tax exemption status for the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other Confederate groups.
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger has signed a new law stripping tax-exempt status from the United Daughters of the Confederacy and other Confederate-affiliated groups.
The move is part of a broader effort to reevaluate how organizations connected to the Confederacy are treated under state law, particularly when it comes to public benefits like tax exemptions. Supporters say it’s a step toward accountability and aligning policy with modern values, while critics argue it targets historical heritage groups and raises questions about precedent.
