                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

PRESUMPTION (§ 3.2-4217.1)

In any action under subsection C of § 3.2-4201, reports of numbers of
cigarettes stamped submitted to the Attorney General pursuant to subsection A of
§ 3.2-4209 shall be admissible in evidence and shall be presumed to accurately
state the number of cigarettes stamped during the time period by the stamping
agent that submitted the report absent a contrary showing by the
nonparticipating manufacturer or importer. Nothing in this section shall be
construed as limiting or otherwise affecting the Commonwealth&#8217;s right to
maintain that such reports are incorrect or do not accurately reflect a
nonparticipating manufacturer&#8217;s sales in the Commonwealth during the time
period in question, and the presumption shall not apply in the event the
Commonwealth does so maintain.
