§ 36-8 Supplemental nature of chapter

The powers conferred by this chapter shall be in addition and supplemental to the powers conferred by any other law; except as may be expressly provided in the charter of a city or town specifically pertaining to such authority.

History

This law was first created in 1938. The record of its establishment is cataloged at page 458 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 1938 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 2 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 1942, when it was recodified as § 3145(23); in 1956, chapter 615.

1938, p. 458; Michie Code 1942, § 3145(23); 1956, c. 615.
