§ 40.1-51.2:1 Discrimination against employee for exercising rights prohibited

History
This law was first created in 1979. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 354 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 1979 “Acts” aren’t available online.
1979, c. 354.
