A Lancaster County Circuit Court judge on November 2 widened a preliminary order in Crump v. Katz so Virginia itself, state agencies, and their staff must follow it, not only the state police superintendent first named as defendant. John S. Martin partly granted that enlargement after the Commonwealth objected, leaving unchanged the earlier terms that already halt enforcement of Senate Bill 749 through December 31, 2026. The ruling does not finally strike down the statute or add every local sheriff or prosecutor as a new party.
