                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

STATE REIMBURSEMENT (§ 53.1-95.19)

An authority created pursuant to this article shall be eligible to receive state
reimbursement for jail construction and operation in accordance with the
provisions of Article 3 (§ 53.1-80 et seq.) of this chapter. State
reimbursement for the cost of the project shall be made to the authority and
shall be determined as if each participating political subdivision in the
authority had contributed its pro rata share of such cost. However, when an
authority created pursuant to this article enters into an agreement with one or
more political subdivisions not participating in the authority for the purpose
of construction and operating a jail, that share of the state reimbursement due
to any political subdivision not participating in the authority shall be made
directly to such political subdivision in accordance with the provisions of
Article 3 of this chapter. The Commonwealth shall fund the positions of
superintendent, correctional officers, and two-thirds of the salaries of
required medical or treatment personnel on a basis approved by the State
Compensation Board. Such salaries shall be paid in the manner provided in §
15.2-1609.2, and such section shall be applicable mutatis mutandis to such
superintendent.
		The superintendent of the correctional facility shall report on the first day
of each month to the Director of the State Department of Corrections to give the
record of each prisoner received during the preceding month on blank forms to be
furnished by the Director, to state whether the offense for each prisoner is for
violation of state law or of city or town ordinance. The report shall be signed
by both the superintendent and chairman of the authority. Either signer found
guilty of willfully falsifying the information contained in such report shall be
guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
		If any superintendent fails to send such report within five days after the
date when the report is to be forwarded, the Director shall notify the
superintendent of such failure. If the superintendent fails to make the report
within ten days from that date, then the Director shall cause the report to be
prepared from the books of the superintendent and shall certify the cost thereof
to the Comptroller. The Comptroller shall issue his warrant on the Treasurer for
that amount, deducting the same from any funds that may be due the
superintendent by the Commonwealth.
