Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia: 1. That §9.1-106 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows: §9.1-106. Regional Criminal Justice Academy Training Fund; local fee. There is created a special nonreverting fund to be
administered by the Department, known as the Regional Criminal Justice Academy
Training Fund. This Fund shall be established on the books of the Comptroller
and any funds remaining in such Fund at the end of the biennium shall not
revert to the general fund, but shall remain in the Fund. Interest earned on
the Fund shall be credited to the Fund. The Fund shall consist of moneys
forwarded to the State Treasurer for deposit in the Fund as provided in §§16.1-69.48:1,

of the Fund. Money in the Fund shall be used to provide financial support for
regional criminal justice training academies, and shall be distributed as
directed by the Department. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, nothing
in this section shall prohibit a locality from charging a similar fee if the
locality does not participate in a regional criminal justice training academy
and if the locality was operating a certified independent criminal justice
academy as of July 1, Any and all funds from such local fee shall support the local academy. Existing funds for the regional criminal justice training academies shall not be reduced by either state or local entities as a result of the enactment of Chapter 215 of the Acts of Assembly of 1997. |
