§ 45.2-1239 Collection of debt where cost of reclamation exceeds member’s forfeited payments, etc
The amount by which the cost of reclamation exceeds the amount of a member’s forfeited payments and the member’s forfeited bond or other security, if any, shall constitute a debt of the member to the Commonwealth. The Director is authorized to collect such debts together with the cost of collection through appropriate legal action or by declaring the forfeiture of other payments made by the member to the Fund. Moneys collected through legal action, less the costs of collection, shall be deposited in the Fund.
History
This law was first created in 1978. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 634 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1978 “Acts” aren’t available online.
