                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DRUG INVESTIGATION SPECIAL TRUST ACCOUNT (§ 52-4.3)

A. There is hereby created in the Department of the Treasury a special
nonreverting fund to be known as the Drug Investigation Special Trust Account,
consisting of such funds as may be appropriated by the General Assembly from
time to time and all interest, dividends and appreciation, including payments to
the fund from the federal government by virtue of a grant, gift, forfeiture or
other disposition, which may accrue to such fund, for the purpose of providing a
timely supplemental source of money to the Department of State Police for use in
the detection, investigation and apprehension of persons for the violation of
the laws pertaining to the manufacture, sale or distribution of illegal drugs.

B. Funds from the Drug Investigation Special Trust Account shall be used to
supplement general appropriations for the Department of State Police Bureau of
Criminal Investigations and a division for drug law enforcement and
investigation for nonpersonal service expenditures related to illegal drug
investigations. They shall be used only for the purposes stated in subsection A
and in strict conformity with the rules and regulations promulgated by the
Superintendent of State Police to carry out the intent and purposes of this
section.

C. No expenditures shall be made from the Drug Investigation Trust Account
except in strict compliance with procedures established by the Superintendent of
State Police and approved by the State Comptroller. The accounting for all such
expenditures shall also be in strict compliance with such procedures.

D. The Drug Investigation Special Trust Account shall be established on the
books of the Comptroller so as to segregate the amounts appropriated to the
account and the amounts earned or accumulated by such special trust account. No
portion of such special trust account shall be used for a purpose other than for
drug investigations. Funds remaining in the Drug Investigation Special Trust
Account at the end of a biennium shall not revert to the general fund but shall
remain in the special trust account, to be used for the purposes set forth in
subsections A through C and shall accumulate interest and dividends throughout
the existence of the special trust account. Any funds, however, remaining in the
special trust account at the end of a biennium in excess of $1,500,000 shall
revert to the general fund.
