I got this from the Virginia State Police website...am I reading this right? On 1 July 2016 VA will honor other states concealed carry permits? I went to GA Carry but didn't see anything about it.

----------------------------
EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2016
The holder of a valid concealed handgun or concealed weapon permit or
license issued by another state may carry a concealed handgun in Virginia
provided:
.the holder of such permit or license is at least 21 years of age; and
.the permit or license holder carries a photo identification issued by a
government agency of any state or by the U.S. Department of Defense or U.S.
Department of State; and
.the holder displays the permit or license and such identification upon
demand by a law-enforcement officer; and
.the permit or license holder has not previously had a Virginia concealed
handgun permit revoked.
The legislation also provides that the Virginia State Police in conjunction
with the Office of the Attorney General will work with the various
jurisdictions to secure reciprocal privileges for Virginia citizens desiring
to carry concealed in other states.
Although the new law will require Virginia to grant recognition to all
states that issue permits, those states may not authorize Virginia permit
holders to possess a firearm in their state. You will need to contact each
state to determine if they will recognize your Virginia permit.
