MINOR
The bill was formally enacted into law as Chapter 398 of the 2026 Virginia Acts of Assembly. The substantive text of the Uniform Power of Attorney Act regarding an agent's duties and disclosure requirements remained unchanged, though the formatting was adjusted to match the official state publication style.
TECHNICAL

The bill's header was updated to reflect its official status as 'Chapter 398' of the 2026 session, replacing the draft 'Enrolled' status and adding the specific approval date of April 8, 2026.

The layout of the statutory text was reformatted from a single-column draft view to a multi-column layout typical of official state code publications, including the addition of page numbers.
