History
This law was first created in 1972. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 181 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 1972 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 7 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 1978, chapter 34; in 1979, chapter 296; in 1981, chapter 447; in 1987, chapter 686; in 1988, chapter 765; in 1992, chapter 706; in 2013, chapter 436.
