Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section numbered

§ 59-101.2. The standard rule for determining the number of board
feet in a tree or log in this State shall be the “International 14 Inch Log
Rule”. The provisions of this section shall not apply to contracts or trans-
actions entered into prior to the effective date of this act; nor shall this

unit of measurement shall be used to determine the number of board feet
in trees or logs covered by a contract between them.
