History
This law was first created in 1952. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 157 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 1952 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 14 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 1954, chapter 460; in 1956, chapter 458; in 1958, chapter 356; in 1966, chapter 147; in 1968, chapter 177; in 1970, chapter 476; in 1972, chapter 26; in 1974, chapter 353; in 1975, chapter 611; in 1980, chapter 595; in 1982, chapter 406; in 1984, chapter 430; in 1987, chapter 571; in 1990, chapter 832.
