History

This law was first created in 1930. The record of its establishment is cataloged at page 957 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 1930 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 4 times. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter.

Those modifications are as follows: in 1942, when it was recodified as § 2673(39); in 1958, chapter 393; in 1964, chapter 227; in 1976, chapter 399.
