History
This law was first created in 1952. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 157 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 1952 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 10 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. Those modifications are as follows: in 1954, chapter 241; in 1958, chapter 367; in 1960, chapter 400; in 1973, chapter 523; in 1974, chapter 353; in 1975, chapter 296; in 1976, chapter 581; in 1977, chapter 620; in 1990, chapter 832; in 2005, chapter 902.
