                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

REVISION OF THE CODE OF VIRGINIA; CONSTRUCTION OF STATUTES RELATING TO TITLES
AMENDED (§ 30-152)

The Code of Virginia shall continue to be gradually revised by revising one
title at a time. The Commission shall have the responsibility for drafting title
revision and recodification bills for introduction into the General Assembly.
During the recodification or title revision process, the Commission shall
evaluate the need for and recommend the repeal of any section or provision
relating to the revised title that has not been implemented during any of the
previous five years because sufficient funds were not appropriated by the
General Assembly. The House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee
on Finance and Appropriations shall assist the Commission in determining which
sections and provisions of the Code of Virginia meet these conditions for
repeal. In the revision of each title, all other sections of the Code of
Virginia relating to the same subject matter shall be revised to the extent
necessary. Whenever in a title revision or recodification bill an existing
section of a title of the Code of Virginia is repealed and replaced with a
renumbered section and that section so repealed was effective with an uncodified
enactment, the repeal of that section, alone, shall not affect the uncodified
enactment. The title revision or recodification bill shall expressly repeal the
uncodified enactment in order for the enactment to be repealed.
		Whenever, during any session of the General Assembly, there shall have been
enacted any statute purporting to revise, rearrange, amend, and recodify any
title of the Code of Virginia, such statute shall be deemed to have been enacted
prior to any other statute enacted at such session adding to, repealing, or
amending and reenacting any portion of such title. Every such other statute
shall be deemed to have so added to, repealed, or amended and reenacted, as the
case may be, such title as so revised, rearranged, amended, and recodified.
Effect shall be given to any such other, or subsequent, statute only to the
extent of any apparent changes in the law as it existed prior to such session.
