SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)

Division fences; requirements for construction. Modifies Virginia's fence laws governing the construction of division fences by permitting all adjoining landowners to choose to let their land lie open and thereby avoid having to contribute to the fence construction cost.  Under current law, owners of subdivided, commercial, or industrial property do not have the option of choosing to let their land lie open.
