History

The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 865 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. It has been modified 3 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter.

Those modifications are as follows: in 1989, chapter 727; in 1995, chapters 767 and 816; in 2015, chapter 615.
