HOUSE BILL NO. 2110 Offered January 20, 1999 A BILL to amend and reenact § 15.2-2019 of the Code of Virginia, relating to street names. ---------- Patrons-- Ware and Ingram; Senator: Watkins ---------- Referred to Committee on Counties, Cities and Towns ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 15.2-2019 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 15.2-2019. Localities may name streets, roads and alleys.

Notwithstanding the provisions of § 15.2-2000 A, every locality may name streets, roads and alleys. Such names shall take precedence over any other designation except those primary highways conforming to § 33.1-12, and shall be employed in references to property abutting thereon.

Renaming streets, roads and alleys on previously recorded or filed site plans or subdivision plats shall not cause vacation of such site plans or subdivision plats. The clerk of the circuit court where such site plans or subdivision plats are recorded or filed shall file the ordinance or resolution effecting such change and appropriately note such name change on the site plan or subdivision plat affected.
