With my fiancée and I moving to Norfolk/Virginia Beach now two weeks from today, I was looking over the VCDL website and saw a letter from the Loudoun city attorney which caught me by surprise. It makes mention of how laws passed prior to 1987 are/were considered to still be valid and enforceable (in this case dealing with city parks)... I was under the impression that Virginia has complete preemption, so the recent date of 2003 for this letter struck me as strange to say the least.
So, I wanted to make sure that a) Virginia does indeed have full preemption, and b) when did this change? I couldn't find the answers via search, so thank you in advance to all who know the truth of the situation!
