                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

FIXING PERIOD OF SUSPENSION OF SENTENCE (§ 19.2-303.1)

In any case where a court suspends the imposition or execution of a sentence, it
may fix the period of suspension for up to the statutory maximum period for
which the defendant might originally have been sentenced to be imprisoned;
however, the court may fix the period of suspension for a period not to exceed
three years for a violation of § 18.2-67.4 or 18.2-67.4:2. The limitation on
the period of suspension shall not apply to the extent that an additional period
of suspension is necessary for the defendant to participate in a court-ordered
program.
