History
This law was first created in 1981. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 451 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 1981 “Acts” aren’t available online.
1981, c. 451.
