Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 2.1-68.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted and that the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 9-77.11:03 as follows:

§ 2.1-68.1. Compacts; records and reports relating thereto.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth shall prepare and maintain a compilation of all conserve a copy of each of the compacts to which the Commonwealth of Virginia is now or has been a party, commencing with the compact entered into with the state of North Carolina which is referenced in chapter XXIX of the October Session of the 1778 Acts of the General Assembly. Such compilation record shall contain the dates on which such compacts were confirmed by this Commonwealth and the complete texts of the terms of such compacts.

In accordance with § 9-77.11:03, beginning July 1, 2001, the Virginia Code Commission shall annually forward to the Secretary of the Commonwealth any newly enacted, amended or repealed compact as it was adopted by the Commonwealth.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth shall also maintain all records relating to the appointment of persons in accordance with compacts confirmed by the Commonwealth.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth shall report to the Governor and the Virginia Commission on Interstate Cooperation within fifteen days after the convening of each legislative session, and at such other times as deemed appropriate, on appointments and vacancies to the interstate boards, commissions and committees established for the purposes of such compacts.

§ 9-77.11:03. Publication of Virginia compacts.

The Code Commission shall annually arrange for the codification and incorporation into the Code of Virginia of all general, special and limited compacts to which the Commonwealth is a party. Within the discretion of the Commission, such incorporation may be through insertion within the existing text and organization of the Code of Virginia or as a freestanding volume.

The Commission shall, on or before July 1 of each year, transmit to the Secretary of the Commonwealth a copy of each new, amended or repealed compact as it was adopted by the Commonwealth in accordance with § 2.1-68.1.
