History

This law was first created in 1984. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 746 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 1984 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 8 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 1985, chapter 265; in 1995, chapter 357; in 1997, chapter 858; in 1999, chapters 412, 421, and 433; in 2001, chapter 844; in 2002, chapter 579; in 2003, chapters 981 and 1021; in 2016, chapter 296.
