The Virginia General Assembly delegates to Virginia agencies the task of creating regulations, which are rules that implement and enforce the laws enacted by the General Assembly. The VAC is organized into 24 titles. A title represents a broad subject category into which the agencies are grouped. The chapter and section numbering of the regulations are in consecutive multiples of ten to accommodate the integration of new regulations and amendments of existing regulations. Then, refer to the Table of Contents of the relevant title and agency.
Agencies continuously add, revise and repeal regulations.
As a result, you must be certain that the text of the regulation you are reading is current. The law library maintains the current year and one prior year of the Virginia Register. The Virginia Administrative Law Appendix is an annual softbound volume that serves as a finding guide to Virginia's existing administrative agencies' regulations. Shelved next to the VAC , it follows the same arrangement of 24 subject matter titles. The library shelves the VAC ,the Virginia Register and the Virignia Administrative Law Appendix with state materials in the basement.
