                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

AGREEMENTS REGARDING TRAVELING EXPENSES (§ 15.2-1609.6)

Notwithstanding the provisions of § 15.2-1609.5, the governing body of any
county or city may, with the approval of the Compensation Board, enter into such
agreement with the sheriff of such county or city with respect to the traveling
expenses, including the use of privately owned vehicles, of such sheriff and his
deputies as the governing body may deem proper. With the consent of the
Compensation Board, in any county having a regular police force authorized by
law and in which the jail of another county or city has been adopted as the jail
of such county, the police officers, in place of the sheriff, who transport any
persons charged with violation of a state law under order of the judge of the
circuit court of such county to the jail so adopted, shall receive the same
mileage as the sheriff would have received had he transported such persons. Any
such police officer transporting any such person shall make claim for mileage on
the same forms the sheriff uses for such claims and in the same manner. When any
such mileage is collected by any police officer, he shall pay the same into the
county treasury and the payment of such mileage shall be made in the manner
provided for the payment of mileage to sheriffs.
