History
This law was first created in 1979. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 408 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 1979 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 7 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 1988, chapter 765; in 2000, chapter 726; in 2002, chapters 797 and 869; in 2003, chapter 600; in 2005, chapter 829; in 2012, chapters 803 and 835; in 2025, chapters 308 and 322.
