2006 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 46.2-1207 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 46.2-1207. Certification of disposal; reimbursement of locality by Commissioner.
On certification by a locality on forms provided by the
Department that an inoperable abandoned motor vehicle left on property within
the locality has been disposed of as provided in § 46.2-1205 or that an
inoperable motor vehicle has been removed from the vehicle owner's property and
disposed of by the locality or its authorized agent, the Commissioner shall
reimburse the locality fifty dollars for each inoperable abandoned
such motor vehicle disposed of at the expense of the locality. These
reimbursements shall be made from appropriations made in the general
appropriations act. In the event the appropriation is insufficient to satisfy
requests for reimbursement, payments shall be made in chronological order on
the basis of the date on which the requests were received. No payments,
however, shall be made for requests received on any date until adequate funds
are available to pay all requests received on that date. The Commissioner may
promulgate regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
These regulations shall include the requirement of the identification number or
motor number of the vehicle for which reimbursement is applied, or an
acceptable reason why that number is not furnished.
No reimbursement shall be made to any locality for vehicles which it acquires from sources outside its jurisdiction nor for vehicles it receives from dealers engaged in the business of dismantling used automobiles.
