                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

BAIL IN SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF INITIAL ARREST (§ 19.2-130)

A. Any person admitted to bail by a judge or clerk of a district court or by a
magistrate shall not be required to be admitted to bail in any subsequent
proceeding arising out of the initial arrest unless the court having
jurisdiction of such subsequent proceeding deems the initial amount of bond or
security taken inadequate. When the court having jurisdiction of the proceeding
believes the amount of bond or security inadequate or excessive, it may change
the amount of such bond or security, require new and additional sureties, or set
other terms of bail as are appropriate to the case, including, but not limited
to, drug and alcohol monitoring. The court may, after notice to the parties,
initiate a proceeding to alter the terms and conditions of bail on its own
motion.

B. Any motion to alter the terms and conditions of bail where the initial bail
decision is made by a judge or clerk of a district court or by a magistrate on
any charge originally pending in that district court shall be filed in that
district court unless (i) a bail decision is on appeal, (ii) such charge has
been transferred pursuant to &#xA7; 16.1-269.1 to a circuit court, or (iii) such
charge has been certified by a district court.
