FUNDING; FAILURE TO COMPLY; PROHIBITED USE OF FUNDS (§ 9.1-182)

A. Counties and cities shall be required to establish a local community-based
probation services agency under this article only to the extent funded by the
Commonwealth through the general appropriation act.

B. The Department shall periodically review each program established under this
article to determine compliance with the submitted plan and operating standards.
If the Department determines that a program is not in substantial compliance
with the submitted plan or standards, the Department may suspend all or any
portion of financial aid made available to the locality for purposes of this
article until there is compliance.

C. Funding shall be used for the provision of local community-based probation
services and operation of facilities but shall not be used for capital
expenditures.

D. The Department, in conjunction with local boards, shall establish a statewide
system of supervision and intervention fees to be paid by offenders
participating in local community-based probation services established under this
article for reimbursement towards the costs of their supervision.

E. Any supervision or intervention fees collected by local community-based
probation services agencies established under this article shall be retained by
the locality serving as fiscal agent and shall be utilized solely for expansion
and development of services, or to supplant local costs of operation. Any local
community-based probation services agency collecting such fees shall keep
records of the collected fees, report the amounts to the locality serving as
fiscal agent and make all records available to the community criminal justice
board. Such fees shall be in addition to any other imposed on a defendant or
offender as a condition of a deferred proceeding, conviction or sentencing by a
court as required by general law.
