§ 61.1-46.1 Maximum charges for tobacco auction warehouse services
Notwithstanding any other provisions of law to the contrary, on and after July 1, 1970, no tobacco auction warehouse shall charge the grower for services rendered in the sale and handling of flue-cured tobacco any amount or sum in excess of the following:

History
This law was first created in 1970. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 140 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 1970 “Acts” aren’t available online.
