History
This law was first created in 1980. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 682 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 1980 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 18 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter.
