Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 2.7:1 of Chapter 209 of the Acts of Assembly of 1968 is amended and reenacted as follows:

No person now a member of council, and no person hereafter elected as mayor or a member of council, shall, during the tenure of the office as mayor or councilman, or for one year thereafter, be eligible for any office to be filled by council by election or appointment; provided that a member of council, a former member of council or a former mayor may be appointed to a vacancy in the office of mayor.
