                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

APPORTIONMENT OF FUNDS TO LOCALITIES OR COMMISSIONS OPERATING JUVENILE SECURE
DETENTION FACILITIES OR PROGRAMS; STANDARDS FOR APPORTIONMENT (§ 16.1-322.1)

The Department shall apportion among the localities or commissions operating a
juvenile secure detention facility the moneys appropriated to the Department in
the general appropriation act for the support of such facilities, excluding
amounts approved for the state share of construction and rental of facilities,
state ward per diem allowances, and payments for the United States Department of
Agriculture lunch program. Such apportionment shall be made as follows:
		The allocation shall be apportioned to provide each locality or commission
operating a juvenile secure detention facility an allowance for salaries and
expenses. Such allowance shall be at least equal to the amount of the allowance
provided to each locality or commission for such salaries and expenses in the
immediately preceding fiscal year for similar services. The Department may
adjust such allowance, where applicable, for new programs and facilities or for
discontinued programs and services.
		The Department may reduce the apportionments made in accordance with this
section from time to time if any facility fails to comply with Department policy
or standards approved by the Board. In effecting such a reduction of funds, the
Department shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Chapter 40 (§
2.2-4000 et seq.) of Title 2.2. Each locality or commission eligible to receive
state funds apportioned under this section shall maintain operational and
financial records which shall be open for evaluation by the Department and audit
by the Auditor of Public Accounts.
		The Governor may withhold approval for state expenditures, by reimbursement or
otherwise, for the purposes set out in this section as provided in the current
general appropriations act.
