SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Local reapportionment; prison population. Expands coverage of the law to allow localities with a prison population exceeding 12 percent of their total population to exclude such prison population from the population base used for local decennial reapportionment. The present law, which becomes effective on May 1, 2002, allows any locality with a prison population that exceeds 18 percent of its total population to exclude its prison population. Under the 2000 census, Greensville and Sussex counties fell within this category. Localities with a population exceeding 12 percent of their total population include the additional localities of Brunswick, Buckingham, and Richmond counties.
