Approved April 2, 1962

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That §§ 1-15, as amended, and 15-24.3 of the Code of Virginia, the
latter section having been enacted as Chapter 637 of the Acts of Assembly
of 1952, be amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 1-15. On and after * Memorial Day, nineteen hundred * sixty-two,
United States standard eastern time shall be in effect in all parts of the
State of Virginia except between Memorial Day and Labor Day of each
year when * daylight saving time shall be in effect; provided, however,
that nothing in this section shall be so construed as to be in contravention
of Federal law, or duly authorized orders of the Interstate Commerce
Commission with respect to the time zones of the United States and the
application of standard time to interstate commerce and other matters
within such zones; provided, further, that any county, city or town,
located within the Tenth Congressional District, may by ordinance, duly
adopted, establish daylight saving time to be effective between the last
Sunday in April and the last Sunday in October of each year; provided
further that in any city located partly within and partly without this
Commonwealth where the remaining portion of said city is located in a
state which by law prohibits daylight saving time, the council of the said
city may direct that Eastern Standard Time shall be used in said city, until
said adjoining state adopts daylight saving time.

In all laws, statutes, orders, decrees, rules and regulations relating to
the time of performance of any act by any officer or agency of the Common-
wealth, or any political subdivision thereof, or relating to the time in which
any rights shall accrue or determine, or within which any act shall or
shall not be performed by any person subject to the jurisdiction of the
Commonwealth, and in all public schools, and in all institutions of the
Commonwealth or its political subdivisions, and in all contracts or choses
in action made or to be performed in the Commonwealth, it shall be
understood and intended that the time applicable thereto or referred to or
implied therein shall be United States standard eastern time, or daylight
saving time, when and during such is in effect.

§ 15-24.3. In order to meet a casual deficit in the revenue, any county
having a population in excess of thirty-two thousand and not in excess of
thirty-three thousand five hundred is authorized to borrow, upon such
terms and conditions as it deems proper, such sums of money as it deems
proper but not to exceed seventy-five thousand dollars. Such loans shall be
repaid as promptly as possible.

2. That § 15-24.2 of the Code of Virginia, a portion of which purported
to amend and reenact § 15-24.3 thereof in Chapter 637 of the Acts of As-
sembly of 1952 and a portion of which purported to amend and reenact
§ 15-24.2 of the Code of Virginia in Chapter 43 of the Acts of Assembly
of 1952, is repealed.

3. An emergency exists, and this act is in force from its passage.
