Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 54-1, as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended and re-
enacted as follows:

§ 54-1. Every State agency except the Board of Medical Examiners
and the Board of Veterinary Examiners authorized at any time to conduct
examinations of applicants for admission to practice or pursue any profes-
sion, vocation, trade, calling or art shall file a copy of each examination
within a period of ten days after it is given with the Secretary of the
Commonwealth where it shall be lodged and preserved for a period
of at least one year as a public record accessible to any person desiring
to examine it during usual business hours; provided, however, that if the
same examination is also given outside of the State of Virginia, a copy of
such examination need not be filed until ten days after the date on which
it was last given anywhere. A copy of the examinations given by the
Board of Medical Examiners and the Board of Veterinary Examiners shall
be filed, respectively, with the Secretary of the Board of Medical Examiners
and the Secretary of the Board of Veterinary Examiners within ten (10)
days after the giving of the examination, which shall be accessible to any
candidate who took the examination or his authorized representative.
After the expiration of one year from the time of the filing of each copy
the Secretary of the Commonwealth may withdraw and destroy it.
