050731132WHEREAS, pursuant to § 30-146 of the Code of Virginia, the Virginia Code Commission is charged with publishing and maintaining the Code of Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Code Commission has statutory authority relating to the form, makeup, arrangement and numbering of the Code of Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the Code of Virginia has not been completely renumbered and reformatted since 1950 when it was adopted by the General Assembly as the official Code of Virginia; and
WHEREAS, the numbering system for the Code of Virginia is becoming increasingly convoluted and disorganized as chapters and titles are renumbered or deleted entirely from the Code; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated by the contract publisher that the republishing of the 1950 Code of Virginia could be accomplished at no additional annual cost to the user of the Virginia Code than is currently paid for annual updates to the Code; and
WHEREAS, the Division of Legislative Services will provide staff to the Virginia Code Commission to complete the project in a timely manner; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED by the Senate, the House of Delegates concurring, That the citizens of the Commonwealth of Virginia are advised that the Virginia Code Commission will during 2005 and 2006 reorganize and renumber the 1950 Code of Virginia and publish it as the 2007 Code of Virginia.
