What changed in the latest version
4 added · 2 removedPlain-language change summary
The bill HB 651 has been updated to reference the Virginia Acts of Assembly from the 2021 session and the 2020 Special Session I, instead of the previous version that referred to Chapter 1211 approved in April 2020. This change helps ensure that the bill aligns with the most recent legislative updates and reflects current laws rather than older ones. It matters because using the latest references improves clarity and keeps the law relevant.
