§ 59.1-367 Legal representation
The Commission shall be represented in all legal matters by general counsel hired by the Commission; however, the employment of such counsel shall be subject to the approval of the Attorney General.

No member of the General Assembly while serving as a member nor any person associated with such member’s law practice shall be employed as general counsel.
History
This law was first created in 1988. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 855 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 1988 “Acts” aren’t available online.
