§ 42.1-76 Legislative intent; title of chapter
The General Assembly intends by this chapter to establish a single body of law applicable to all public officers and employees on the subject of public records management and preservation and to ensure that the procedures used to manage and preserve public records will be uniform throughout the Commonwealth. This chapter may be cited as the Virginia Public Records Act.
History
This law was first created in 1976. 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 1976 “Acts” aren’t available online.
1976, c. 746.
