An Act to repeal Chapter 558, as amended, of the Acts of Assembly of 1950, which provided a charter for the Town of Glen Lyn in Giles County.
HB98 is a short local act that repeals Chapter 558 of the Acts of Assembly of 1950, as amended, which had served as the charter for the Town of Glen Lyn in Giles County. In practical terms, the bill removes the specific statutory charter previously governing the town under that 1950 enactment.
The measure does not create a new charter, new powers, or new regulatory requirements. Instead, it is a repeal bill focused on local government structure, likely reflecting a change in the town’s legal status or governance arrangement under Virginia law. Because the bill is limited to repealing an existing charter act, its effect is narrow and localized to Glen Lyn and any provisions that depended on that charter.
HB98 changes Virginia law by repealing the 1950 charter act for the Town of Glen Lyn. This removes that chapter from the Acts of Assembly and eliminates the town-specific statutory framework established by that charter, affecting the town’s legal basis for governance to the extent it relied on the repealed act. The bill has no apparent statewide policy effect and does not alter general law beyond this local charter repeal.
The available record shows no committee transcripts, recorded debate, or vote history, so there is no direct evidence of controversy or opposition. The bill’s passage as a chaptered act suggests it was accepted as a routine local government measure. Overall sentiment appears neutral to favorable, with the legislation treated as a narrow administrative or legal housekeeping change rather than a contested policy proposal.
No specific points of contention are documented in the provided materials. Because the bill simply repeals an old municipal charter, any disagreement would likely have centered on the town’s governance status, local autonomy, or whether repeal was the appropriate legal mechanism, but none of those issues are reflected in the record here. The absence of transcripts and votes indicates no identified public dispute in the available context.
