LIST OF PERSONS INELIGIBLE TO BE AUTHORIZED HOLDERS (§ 3.2-4206.01)

A. The Attorney General shall develop and publish on its website a list of
individuals who are ineligible to be authorized holders as defined in &#xA7;
58.1-1000. The Attorney General shall update the list as necessary to add names
of individuals who are no longer eligible to be authorized holders. Upon
request, the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court shall
provide the Attorney General with assistance to ensure that the requirements of
this section are met.

B. Any attorney for the Commonwealth, law-enforcement officer, or other person
may submit a request to the Attorney General that a person be included on the
list and shall submit a certified court order of the conviction that makes the
person ineligible to be an authorized holder of cigarettes.

C. Nothing in this section shall impose an affirmative duty on the Attorney
General to identify persons to be included on the list who are ineligible to be
authorized holders of cigarettes due to a conviction in another state, in the
absence of a request received from an attorney for the Commonwealth,
law-enforcement officer, or other person.

D. No liability shall be imposed upon the Attorney General for any omissions or
the incorrect inclusion of any individual on the listing required under
subsection A. No liability shall be imposed upon any attorney for the
Commonwealth or law-enforcement official who provides information to the
Attorney General in accordance with subsection B. This provision shall not be
construed to grant immunity for gross negligence or willful misconduct.
