----------
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §10.1-2211 of the Code of Virginia is amended and
reenacted as follows:
§10.1-2211. Disbursement of funds appropriated for caring for
Confederate cemeteries and graves.
A. At the direction of the Director, the Comptroller of the
Commonwealth is instructed and empowered to draw annual warrants upon the State
Treasurer from any sums that may be provided in the general appropriation act,
in favor of the treasurers of the Confederate memorial associations and
chapters of the United Daughters of the Confederacy set forth in subsection B
of this section. Such sums shall be expended by the associations and
organizations for the routine maintenance of their respective Confederate
cemeteries and graves and for the graves of Confederate soldiers and sailors
not otherwise cared for in other cemeteries, and in erecting and caring for markers,
memorials, and monuments to the memory of such soldiers and sailors. All such
associations and organizations, through their proper officers, are required
after July 1 of each year to submit to the Director a certified statement that
the funds appropriated to the association or organization in the preceding
fiscal year were or will be expended for the routine maintenance of cemeteries
specified in this section and the graves of Confederate soldiers and sailors
and in erecting and caring for markers, memorials and monuments to the memory
of such soldiers and sailors. An association or organization failing to comply
with any of the requirements of this section shall be prohibited from receiving
moneys allocated under this section for all subsequent fiscal years until the
association or organization fully complies with the requirements.
B. Allocation of appropriations made pursuant to this section
shall be based on the number of graves, monuments and markers as set forth
opposite the association's or organization's name, or as documented by each
association or organization multiplied by the rate of $5 or the average actual
cost of routine maintenance, whichever is greater, for each grave, monument or
marker in the care of a Confederate memorial association or chapter of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy. For the purposes of this section the
"average actual cost of care" shall be determined by the Department
in a biennial survey of at least four properly maintained cemeteries, each
located in a different geographical region of the Commonwealth.
