MINOR

This bill converts the Town of Buchanan's charter from an enrolled legislative act to a chaptered act, standardizing its legal format. The substantive policy content regarding town council composition, election schedules, town manager residency requirements, and town clerk appointments remains unchanged, with only formatting and structural adjustments made to align with Virginia's official publication standards.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the Town of Buchanan in Botetourt County remains the sole entity affected.

TECHNICAL

Changed the document format from 'Enrolled' to 'Chaptered' status, updating the header and approval date to March 18, 2025, which reflects the bill's official publication in the Virginia Acts of Assembly.

Added Chapter 57 designation and reorganized the document structure to match standard legislative formatting conventions used in Virginia state publications.

Removed redundant header text and formatting markers that were present in the enrolled version but are not needed in the final chaptered version.
