History
This law was first created in 1930. The record of its establishment is cataloged at page 964 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 6 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 § 2673(69); in 1958, chapter 393; in 1988, chapter 352; in 2011, chapters 572 and 586; in 2016, chapter 341; in 2020, chapter 832.
