2000 SESSION
002927548Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15.2-1302 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 15.2-1302. Certain Commonwealth distributions to localities.
Any state funds that were distributed to a locality, or including a local
school board, in support of a governmental program or function prior to a
consolidation of such program or function or the governmental consolidation of
the entities providing such programs or functions, shall continue to be
distributed to the entity or entities carrying out the program or function
after consolidation and shall not be reduced below the amounts that would have
been received by each entity from the Commonwealth for the governmental program
or function computed on the premise that no consolidation occurred for a period
of five fifteen fiscal years following the consolidation.
This section shall not prohibit the Commonwealth from terminating or modifying
any program or function under which distribution to a locality, or including a
local school board, has been made, and if so terminated or modified all
obligations hereunder shall cease or be reduced in proportion with such modifications, as
the case may be.
If any such consolidations terminate prior to the end of the five-year
fifteen-year period, the Commonwealth's obligation under this
section shall cease.
For the purposes of this section, "consolidation" includes the transition of a city to town status.
