History
This law was first created in 1991. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 168 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1991 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 9 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. Those modifications are as follows: in 1992, chapters 574 and 575; in 1993, chapter 113; in 1996, chapter 282; in 1997, chapter 190; in 2001, chapter 548; in 2003, chapter 340; in 2006, chapter 912; in 2007, chapter 771; in 2019, chapter 636.
