SALARIES AND EXPENSE ALLOWANCES TO BE PAID BY COMMONWEALTH (§ 15.2-1609.7)

The Commonwealth shall pay the salaries and expense allowances of such sheriffs
and their full-time deputies, and of the compensation and expense allowances of
their part-time deputies, fixed as provided except that beginning July 1, 1982,
such payments to any eligible county or newly formed city under the provisions
of Chapter 39 (§ 15.2-3900 et seq.) or Chapter 35 (§ 15.2-3500 et seq.) of
this title, which elects to receive state law-enforcement assistance in
accordance with the terms of Article 8 (§ 9.1-165) of Chapter 1 of Title 9.1
shall be reduced by an amount equal to the salaries and expense allowances of
its law-enforcement deputy sheriffs or the amount of state assistance to be
received by the county or newly formed city under the provisions of Chapter 39
(§ 15.2-3900 et seq.) or Chapter 35 (§ 15.2-3500 et seq.) of this title,
pursuant to Article 8 (§ 9.1-165) of Chapter 1 of Title 9.1, whichever is the
lesser. Such salaries shall be paid in equal monthly installments and the
expense allowances shall be paid monthly when the amount thereof is established
as hereinabove provided, except that the Board may provide advance payments on a
monthly pro rata basis to any county or city and adjust subsequent monthly
advances based on actual expenditures incurred in the preceding month.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the General Assembly, through
the general appropriation act, may allow any locality receiving a 100 percent
apportionment of law-enforcement assistance to continue to receive such full
apportionments.
