SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Public Finance Act; appeals from bond validation proceedings. Allows appeals from circuit court bond validation proceedings if a notice of appeal is filed with the circuit court within 15 days of the final judgment and if a petition if filed with the Supreme Court of Virginia within 30 days of the final judgment. Currently, a petition must be filed with the Court within 15 days of the final judgment. The bill shifts the burden from appellant to the clerk of the circuit court for transmitting a certified copy of the circuit court record to the Supreme Court of Virginia within 30 days of the final judgment when a notice of appeal is properly filed. The bill clarifies that failure of the clerk to do so will not affect the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to hear the appeal.
