The new provisions shall then be set out in full as enacted.

(c)

If a new section not heretofore existing in the Code is to be added, the following language may be used: "That the Code of the County of Powhatan, Virginia, is hereby amended by adding a section, to be numbered _____, which section reads as follows:…." The new section shall then be set out in full as enacted.
