CHAPTER 133

to school district bonds; to validate certain proceedings heretofore
had and bonds issued in connection therewith; and to provide for
the standing of such bonds.

[H 240]

Approved March 2, 1964

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 15.1-190 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 15.1-190. (a) The governing body of any county, acting for and
on behalf of any school district, or acting for and on behalf of two or more
school districts jointly in such county, may provide for the issuance of
general obligation bonds of such school district or districts for school
purposes. The bonds shall not be issued unless a majority of the qualified
voters voting in the election in such district, or so voting in each of such
districts separately, shall approve the contracting of the debt and the
issuing of the bonds. The bonds of two or more school districts shall be
issued as joint obligations of such school districts. Any such school district,
or any such school districts jointly, shall constitute a unit. For the purpose
of this section, each magisterial district in each county shall constitute a
school district, but any such school district shall not include a town
constituting a separate school district. The issuance of such bonds shall
be governed by the provisions of this chapter.

(b) All such bonds heretofore issued and proceedings had in con-
nection therewith which conform to this section as amended are hereby
ratified, validated and confirmed and declared to be legal and as fully
binding obligations as if issued under this section as hereby amended.

Z. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage, not-
withstanding any provision of Chapter 623, Acts of Assembly, 1962 to
the contrary.
