CHAPTER 702
An Act to amend and reenact § 22.1-118 of the Code of Virginia, relating to the selection of fiscal agents for academic-year Governor's Schools.
[H 2124]
Approved March 19, 2003

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 22.1-118 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 22.1-118. Handling of funds for joint school; county or city treasurer as fiscal agent.

The treasurer of a county or city in which a joint school is located shall be the fiscal agent of such school and shall receive and disburse the funds thereof. All disbursements shall be by warrant signed by the clerk of the committee for control of such school and countersigned by such treasurer as fiscal agent.

For his services as fiscal agent, the treasurer shall be paid such salary as may be agreed upon by the committee for control of the joint school and treasurer. In the event they cannot agree, then the amount of salary to be paid shall be submitted to the circuit court of the county or city in which the school is located for hearing and determination, and the amount so fixed by the court shall be binding upon both the treasurer and the committee. Nothing contained in this section shall affect the regular salary allowance of the treasurer as fixed annually by the State Compensation Board.

The provisions of this section shall not apply to the property and school known as New London Academy leased under the provisions of Chapter 174 of the Acts of Assembly of 1887, approved May 10, 1887, and acts amendatory thereof, nor shall they apply in any county having a population of more than 30,900 but less than 31,000.

In the case of an academic-year Governor's School operated by two or more school divisions, the relevant school boards may, by agreement and with the approval of the respective local governing bodies, select the fiscal agent for the school from among the treasurers of the participating localities.
