History
This law was first created in 1992. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapters 837 and 880 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 1992 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 4 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter.

Those modifications are as follows: in 1995, chapter 520; in 2000, chapter 937; in 2001, chapter 844; in 2015, chapter 366.
