Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 19.2-130 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 19.2-130. Bail in subsequent proceeding arising out of initial arrest.
Any person admitted to bail by a judge or clerk of a district
court or by a magistrate shall not be required to be admitted to bail in any
subsequent proceeding arising out of the initial arrest unless the court having
jurisdiction of such subsequent proceeding deems the initial amount of bond or
security taken inadequate. When the court having jurisdiction of the proceeding
believes the amount of bond or security inadequate or excessive, it may
increase change the amount of such bond or security, or
require new and additional sureties, or set other terms of bail as are
appropriate to the case, including, but not limited to, drug and alcohol

proceeding to alter the terms and conditions of bail on its own motion.
