Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33.1-23.5:1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 33.1-23.5:1. Funds for counties that have withdrawn or elect to withdraw from the secondary system of state highways.
Notwithstanding the provisions of § 33.1-23.5, pursuant to § 33.1-23.1 A, the
Commonwealth Transportation Board shall make the following payments to counties
which have withdrawn or elect to withdraw from the secondary system of state
highways under the provisions of § 11 of Chapter 415 of the Acts of Assembly of
1932, and which have not elected to return: to any county having withdrawn prior to
June 30, 1985, and having an area greater than 100 square miles, an amount
equal to $3,616 per lane-mile for fiscal year 1986, and to any county having an area less than
100 square miles, 1999, an amount equal to $7,201 $10,953 per lane-mile for
fiscal year 1986 1999; to any county that elects to withdraw after June 30,
1985, the Commonwealth Transportation Board shall establish a rate per lane-mile for the first year using (i) an amount for
maintenance based on maintenance standards and unit costs used by the
Department of Transportation to prepare its secondary system maintenance budget
for the year in which the county withdraws, and (ii) an amount for
administration equal to five percent of the maintenance figure determined in
(i) above. The payment rates shall be adjusted annually by the Board in
accordance with procedures established for adjusting payments to cities and
towns under § 33.1-41.1, and lane mileage shall be adjusted annually to include
(i) streets and highways accepted for maintenance in the county system by the
local governing body, or (ii) streets and highways constructed according to
standards set forth in the county subdivision ordinance or county thoroughfare
plan, and being not less than the standards set by the Department of
Transportation. Such counties shall, in addition, each receive for construction
from funds allocated pursuant to § 33.1-23.1 B 3 an annual amount calculated in
the same manner as payments for construction in the state secondary highway system
are calculated.
Payment of the funds shall be made in four equal sums, one in each quarter of the fiscal year, and shall be reduced, in the case of each such county, by the amount of federal-aid construction funds credited to each such county.
