Approved December 16, 1952
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15-240, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:
§ 15-240. How tie breaker appointed.—The circuit court of each
county, or the judge thereof in vacation, shall designate one of the com-
missioners in chancery of such court, whose duty it shall be to cast the
deciding vote in case of tie, as set forth in § 15-245 which designation shall
be by order entered in the common law order book. The appointment may
be changed from time to time, as the court or judge thereof in vacation
may deem proper, and any substituted commissioner shall take the place
of his predecessor just in the condition as to notice or other matters as if
he had always been the commissioner; provided that in any county having
a population in excess of ninety-seven thousand according to the last
preceding United States census, and containing an even number of magis-
terial districts, there shall be elected at the regular election to be held in
November, nineteen hundred fifty-two, and thereafter at the elections at
which members of the board of supervisors of such county are elected,
a tie breaker for such board, who shall, on and after * January one, nine-
teen hundred fifty-three, exercise in such county all the powers and per-
form all the duties conferred or imposed by law upon tie breakers. In the
event of a vacancy in the office of the tie breaker in any such county, the
court or judge shall designate a commissioner to serve as such until the
next regular election, at which time a tie breaker shall be elected for the
unexpired term, who shal] take office * January one following his election.
An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
