History
This law was first created in 1988. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapters 707 and 891 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.
