The Commission on Code Recodification was created by an act of the General Assembly passed on March 30, 1946. Its principal duty was to make a complete recodification of the statute laws of the state of a general nature. This task was completed two years later, and the new code was approved by the General Assembly on March 30, 1948.
An act passed by the General Assembly on March 16, 1948, made the commission a permanent agency of the legislative branch of government and changed the name of the commission to the Virginia Code Commission. The commission supervises the codification of the statutes after each General Assembly session and revises and recodifies portions of the Code of Virginia as needed.
In 1992 the Commission was charged with the responsibility of creating Virginia's first administrative code of regulations by compiling and codifying all of the administrative regulations of state agencies. The Commission also oversees the bi-weekly publication of The Virginia Register of Regulations, which is used by state agencies during the adoption of new regulations to be included in the Administrative Process Act.
Please note that the materials related to the 1904 revision of the Code of Virginia were created prior to the creation of the Virginia Code Commission in 1946. These materials are of similar nature to those of the 1948 records, and were grouped together for cataloging purposes.
Records, 1904-2009, documenting all drafts and final revisions, supporting correspondence and supplemental information regarding the recodification of the Code of Virginia. Includes working papers, notes, worksheets and proofs. The earlier records, 1904 and 1948, consist of printed copies of sections of the Code glued onto paper or in scrapbooks with notes, changes to the wording, and code citations marked. Also included are correspondence and copies of pre-1948 laws for various state agencies.
This collection is arranged into the following series:
This series consists of scrapbooks with chapters of the Virginia code glued in them.
