Virginia House Clears Tax Code and Boundary Survey Bill
In Richmond on February 10 the Virginia House passed Senate Bill No. 1 codifying the tax laws, clearing the way for new mandatory tax measures. The Senate had adopted the boundary survey bill for Virginia and Maryland along the Potomac, based on 1877 award findings by Edward Mathews and Wilbur Nelson, to await the governor’s signature. The tax code changes aim to reduce duplications and shrink the statute volume by about half, though new provisions target distributing warehouses and licensing for oil firms, prompting debate over impact on Virginia retailers and interstate distribution.
