Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 1-13.35 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted

or until the * Auditor of Public Accounts shall, after determination of the
finality of the census enumeration, certify such population classifications
to the governing bodies of the several counties, cities and towns, which-
ever first occurs.
