Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding in Title 15 thereof
a new chapter numbered 4.1 containing new sections numbered 15-65.1
through 15-65.3 as follows:
§ 15-65.1. No charter shall be granted to a municipal corporation and
no charter of a municipal corporation shall be amended except as pro-
vided in this chapter, unless the municipal corporation seeks one or more
of the powers provided in Chapter 5.1 of Title 15.
§ 15-65.2. The municipal corporation shall provide for holding an
election to be conducted as provided in § 24-141 of this Code to determine
if the qualified voters of the municipal corporation desire that it request
the General Assembly to grant to the municipal corporation a new charter
or to amend its existing charter. Such election shall be held within thirty
days following the action of the municipal corporation with respect thereto.
At least ten days prior to the holding of such election the text or an
informative summary of the new charter or amendment desired shall be
published in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipal corpora-
ion.
If a majority of the qualified voters voting in such election vote in
favor of such request the municipal corporation shall transmit two copies
of a bill to grant the new charter or to amend the existing charter to the
Keeper of the Rolls of the Commonwealth, whose duty it shall be at the
then or next regular session of the General Assembly to transmit one copy
of the bill to the presiding officer of the House of Delegates and one copy
to the presiding officer of the Senate, which shall constitute a request of
the General Assembly to grant the new charter or the amendment of the
existing charter, specified in the bill, as provided by section one hundred
and seventeen of the Constitution of Virginia.
§ 15-65.3. In lieu of the election provided for in § 15-65.2, a municipal
corporation desiring the General Assembly to grant to it a new charter
or to amend its existing charter may hold a public hearing with respect
thereto, at which citizens shall have an opportunity to be heard to determine
if the citizens of the municipal corporation desire that the municipal corpo-
ration request the General Assembly to grant to it a new charter or to
amend its existing charter. At least ten days’ notice of the time and place
of such hearing and the text or an informative summary of the new
charter or amendment desired shall be published in a newspaper of gen-
eral circulation in the municipal corporation. Such public hearing may be
adjourned from time to time, and upon the completion thereof, the
municipal corporation may request, in the manner provided in § 15-65.2,
the General Assembly to grant the new charter or amend the existing
charter and the provisions uf said section shall be applicable thereto.
