Summary:

Effective November 1, 1986, federal law ("The Pork, Promotion, Research, and Consumer Information Act of 1985," 7 USC § 4801) ceded to the federal government the sole right to levy an excise tax on pork. As a result, the Virginia Slaughter Hog and Feeder Pig Excise Tax provided for by § 3.2-2006 of the Code of Virginia is no longer imposed. This regulatory action repeals the Virginia Slaughter Hog and Feeder Pig Excise Tax Regulation.
