15102476DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. § 1. That, recognizing the unique relationship
between the Commonwealth and certain of its state-recognized Indian tribes, and
notwithstanding any other provision of law, neither the Commonwealth nor any
locality therein is responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of the
Uniform Statewide Building Code (§ 36-97 et seq.) on any Indian reservation
recognized by the Commonwealth whereupon a state-recognized Indian tribe has,
by duly enacted tribal ordinance, adopted the Uniform Statewide Building Code
and (i) assumed sole responsibility for existing buildings and new construction
on the reservation and (ii) for purposes of enforcing the ordinance, retained
firms or individuals [ qualified ] to function as the
building official on such reservation.
2. That nothing in this act shall be construed to confer or infer responsibility or liability on any party for any action undertaken prior to the effective date of this act.
