History
This law was first created in 1976. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 264 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. It has been modified 5 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 1981, chapter 585; in 1987, chapter 344; in 1989, chapter 727; in 2007, chapter 111; in 2013, chapter 783.
