What changed in the latest version
35 added · 35 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendment to § 29.1-113 of the Code of Virginia changes the conditions under which a fee is required for using Department-owned boat ramp facilities. The new text clarifies that the fee does not apply to individuals holding a valid hunting, trapping, or fishing permit, or to passengers who are not the owner or operator of a paddlecraft or registered vessel. This change may affect who is exempt from paying fees, potentially allowing more people access to these facilities without a charge.
