                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUBPOENA DUCES TECUM; FINANCIAL RECORDS OF NONPARTY (§ 8.01-420.9)

A. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, when any party in a civil action
issues a subpoena duces tecum for the production of (i) records subject to
attorney-client privilege or (ii) the financial records of a nonparty account
holder, such attorney holding privileged records or nonparty account holder may
file a motion to quash or modify such subpoena.

B. Upon receiving a valid subpoena duces tecum for financial records, no
commercial business providing credit history or credit reports, issuer as
defined in &#xA7; 6.2-424, financial institution as defined in &#xA7; 6.2-604,
or money transmitter as defined in &#xA7; 6.2-1900 shall condition compliance
with such subpoena upon the payment of any fees for the costs of producing such
records, but such commercial business, issuer, financial institution, or money
transmitter may impose reasonable charges not to exceed the actual costs
incurred in accessing, duplicating, supplying, or searching for the requested
records. Nothing in this section shall be construed to create a cause of action
against such commercial business, issuer, financial institution, or money
transmitter that complies with a subpoena duces tecum.
