		The Commission may renumber, rename, and rearrange any Code of Virginia titles, chapters, articles, and sections in the <span class="dictionary">statutes</span> adopted, and make corresponding changes in lists of chapter, article, and section headings, catchlines, and tables, when, in the <span class="dictionary">judgment</span> of the Commission, it is necessary because of any disturbance or interruption of orderly or consecutive arrangement.
		The Commission may correct unmistakable errors in cross-references to Code of Virginia sections and may change cross-references to Code of Virginia sections which have become outdated or incorrect due to subsequent amendment to, revision, or repeal of the sections to which reference is made.
		The Commission may omit from the <span class="dictionary">statutes</span> incorporated into the Code of Virginia provisions which, in the <span class="dictionary">judgment</span> of the Commission, are inappropriate in a code, such as emergency clauses, clauses providing for specific nonrecurring appropriations and general repealing clauses.</p></section></text><history>1983, c. 260, &#xA7; 9-77.10; 1992, c. 216; 2001, c. 844.</history><metadata></metadata></law>
