REGIONAL CRIMINAL JUSTICE ACADEMY TRAINING FUND; LOCAL FEE (§ 9.1-106)

There is created a special nonreverting fund to be administered by the
Department, known as the Regional Criminal Justice Academy Training Fund. This
Fund shall be established on the books of the Comptroller and any funds
remaining in such Fund at the end of the biennium shall not revert to the
general fund, but shall remain in the Fund. Interest earned on the Fund shall be
credited to the Fund. The Fund shall consist of moneys forwarded to the State
Treasurer for deposit in the Fund as provided in §§ 16.1-69.48:1, 17.1-275.1,
17.1-275.2, 17.1-275.3, 17.1-275.4, 17.1-275.7, 17.1-275.8, and 17.1-275.9,
which sums shall be deposited in the state treasury to the credit of the Fund.
Money in the Fund shall be used to provide financial support for regional
criminal justice training academies, and shall be distributed as directed by the
Department. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, nothing in this section
shall prohibit a locality from charging a similar fee if the locality does not
participate in a regional criminal justice training academy and if the locality
was operating a certified independent criminal justice academy as of July 1,
2012.
		Any and all funds from such local fee shall support the local academy.
		Existing funds for the regional criminal justice training academies shall not
be reduced by either state or local entities as a result of the enactment of
Chapter 215 of the Acts of Assembly of 1997.
