Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 15.1-538, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended and
reenacted as follows:

§ 15.1-538. A special meeting of the board of supervisors shall be
held when requested by two or more of the members thereof. Such request
shall be in writing, addressed to the clerk of the board, and shall specify
the time and place of meeting and the matters to be considered at the
meeting. Upon receipt of such request, the clerk shall immediately notify
each member of the board and the Commonwealth’s attorney, in writing,
to attend upon such meeting at the time and place mentioned in the request.
Such notice shall specify the matters to be considered at the meeting. The
clerk shall send a copy of such notice to each member of the board and the
Commonwealth’s attorney by registered mail not less than five days before
the day of the special meeting; provided that in any county having a popu-
lation of more than twelve thousand but less than twelve thousand four hun-
dred such notice shall be delivered not less than twenty-four hours before
the time of the special meeting; provided, that the clerk may have such
notice served on the members of the board and the Commonwealth’s at-
torney by the sheriff of the county, if he deems the same necessary to secure
their attendance; and provided further, that no matter not specified in the
notice shall be considered at such meeting, unless all the members of the
board are present. The sheriff shall be allowed fifty cents for the service of
each such notice, payable out of the county levy.
