[H 405]
Approved March 31, 1966
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia be amended by adding a section numbered
15.1-37.3, as follows:
§ 15.1-87.3. Any county, city or town may codify or recodify any or
all of its ordinances, in permanently bound or looseleaf form. Such ordi-
nances may be changed, altered or amended by the governing body of the
county, city or town, and ordinances or portions thereof may be deleted
and new material may be added by the governing body. Such changes,
alterations, amendments or deletions and such new material shall become
effective on the effective date of the codification or recodification.
Ordinances relating to zoning and the subdivision of land may be
included in any codification or recodification of ordinances; provided, that
no change, alteration, amendment, deletion or addition of a substantive
nature shall be made and no new material of a substantive nature shall
be added to such ordinances unless, prior to the date of adoption of such
codification or recodification, notice of such proposed changes, alterations,
amendments, deletions or additions shall be published as required by the
Code of Virginia and public hearings held thereon as provided by the Code
of Virginia for adoption and amendment of zoning and subdivision ordi-
nances. Renumbering or rearranging of sections, articles or other divisions
of any such ordinance shall not be deemed to be a change, alteration or
amendment of a substantive nature.
Any such codification or recodification may be adopted by reference
by a single ordinance, without further publication of such codification or
recodification or any portions thereof. The ordinance adopting such codi-
fication or recodification shall comply with all laws of the Commonwealth
and any provision of any city or town charter requiring posting or publi-
cation of ordinances or notice of intent to adopt ordinances. At least one
copy of such codification or recodification or a complete set of printer’s
proofs of the text thereof shall be made available for public inspection in
the office of the clerk of the county, city or town or the clerk of the gov-
erning body thereof for at least two weeks prior to the meeting of the
governing body at which such codification or recodification is proposed to
be adopted.
No ordinance imposing a county capitation tax, county motor vehicle
license tax, county license tax on professions or businesses, including
wholesale merchants, or county tax on amusements shall be enacted as new
material in any such codification or recodification or amended in substance
therein unless the procedure set forth in § 15.1-504 of the Code of Virginia
has first been complied with.
Supplements for such codifications or recodifications may be prepared
from time to time at the direction of the governing body of the county, city
or town, either as units or on a replacement page basis; provided, that
where replacement pages are prepared, a distinguishing mark or notation
shall be placed on each replacement page to distinguish it from original
pages and pages of other supplements. No further adoption procedure
shall be required for supplements or replacement pages in which no sub-
stantive change is made in ordinances previously and validly adopted by
the governing body of the county, city or town. If changes, alterations,
amendments, deletions or additions of a substantive nature are made in
any such supplement, then such supplement shall be adopted by the gov-
erning body in the same manner provided by general law, charters or any
special law applicable to counties, cities and towns.
At least three copies of any codification or recodification adopted here-
under and at least three copies of every supplement thereto shall be kept
in the office of the clerk of the county, city or town or the clerk of the
governing body thereof, and shall there be available for public inspection
during normal business hours. :
If any charter of any city or town or special law shall contain any pro-
vision authorizing the codification or recodification of the ordinances of
such city or town, the city or town thereby affected may elect to proceed
either under such charter provisions, special law or under the provisions
of this section.
Any codification or recodification adopted hereunder shall be admitted
in evidence in all courts without further proof.
2. § 15.1-509 of the Code of Virginia is repealed.
