relative to the duties of the keeper of the rolls.

Approved February 3, 1908.

1. Be it so enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That section
two hundred and seven of the Code of Virginia, be amended and re-
enacted so as to read as follows:

§ 207. Clerk to be keeper of the rolls—The clerk of the house of
delegates shall be the keeper of the rolls. As such, he shall cause all
the acts of the general assembly and joint resolutions proposing amend-
ments to the Constitution, to be enrolled on substantial paper, of uni-
form size; and after they shall have been examined by the committees
on enrolled bills, and signed by the president of the senate and speaker
of the house of delegates, he shall cause the same to be bound in durable
style. He shall have the custody of the acts and resolutions of the
general assembly, and the record and papers of the house of delegates;
and, when required, shall furnish a copy of any of them; which copy,
being certified by him, shall be evidence for any purpose for which the
original would be received, and with as much effect. He shall, as soon
as practicable after every act is passed, prepare the same for publica-
tion, and furnish to the superintendent of public printing the manu-
script of all acts of the general assembly and joint resolutions proposing
amendments to the Constitution properly arranged for being printed.
And he shall, as soon as practicable after the adjournment of the general
assembly, furnish the index and the tables required by law, and shall
superintend the publication of such acts, resolutions, tables, and index,
in connection with the superintendent of public printing.

2. An emergency existing on account of the general assembly now
being in session, this act shall be in force from its passage.
