MINOR

This bill was formally enacted into law as Chapter 481 of the 2025 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The substantive text of the insurance agent appointment and termination provisions remains largely unchanged, though the document formatting was standardized to match official legislative publication standards.

TECHNICAL

Removed 'Enrolled' and 'VIRGINIA ACTS OF ASSEMBLY -- CHAPTER' headers and added official chapter number (481), approval date (March 24, 2025), and consistent spacing throughout the document.

Standardized section numbering and indentation to match official published code format, though the underlying legal text remains the same.

Added page numbering (2 of 3) and proper spacing between sections to comply with official legislative publication requirements.
