to the transfer of certain roads from the primary to the secondary
system of State highways. (H 8]

Approved February 14, 1956

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 33-27 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted as
follows:

§ 33-27. The State Highway Commission may transfer such roads,
bridges and streets as the Commission shall deem proper from the primary
system of State highways to the secondary system of State highways;
upon such transfer, the roads, bridges and streets so transferred shall
become for all purposes parts of the secondary system of State highways
and thereafter cease being parts of the primary system of State highways.
The total mileage of such roads, bridges and streets so transferred by
the Commission shall not, however, exceed one hundred and fifty miles
during any one year.

_No resolution for any such transfer shall be adopted until (1) notice
of intention to propose the same for adoption shall have been given for
sixty days to the governing body of each county, city and town in which
is located any part of any such roads, bridges and streets proposed to be
transferred; and (2) if any such governing body requests, a public hearing
is held on such proposal.
