SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Repeal of various statutes. Repeals, by recommendation of the Title 18.2 Study Subcommittee of the Virginia State Crime Commission, 12 statutes in Title 18.2 that have been little used and whose offenses are covered by other statutes. In determining whether to recommend a statute for repeal the Subcommittee looked at various factors, including the date enacted, the number of convictions under the statute, whether the statute was the subject of any appellate court cases and whether the elements of the offenses were covered by other statutes. The statutes repealed include: conversion of certain military property, sale of goods of another and failure to pay over proceeds, dogs not permitted in Capitol Square, trespassers forbidden to jump on or off railroad cars or trains, false statements by purchaser of real property as to use for personal residence, false statement or willful overvaluation of property for purposes of influencing lending institution, unlawful use of words "Official Tourist Information," commitment of persons convicted of certain offenses, detaining male or female in bawdy place against his or her will and conspiring to cause spouse to commit adultery.
