PERIODIC DETERMINATION OF WEIGHTS AND CONSTANTS (§ 9.1-172)

Prior to the convening of the General Assembly in each even-numbered year, the
Department shall determine whether the variables incorporated in the equation
used in the distribution formula are statistically acceptable for such
computation, and to determine whether any other variables would be better
predictors of crime. If, as a result of this research, the Department determines
that the variables used in the equation should be changed, it shall recommend to
the General Assembly appropriate legislation to accomplish this change.
