SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
Construction, renovation, or maintenance of a courthouse; fees. Allows localities to assess an additional three dollar fee as part of the costs in each civil, criminal, or traffic case to be used solely for the construction, reconstruction, renovation of, or adaptive re-use of a structure for a courthouse. Such fee shall not be assessed in any civil action if the amount in controversy is $500 or less. The additional fee may only be assessed by localities that, on or after January 1, 2008, operated a courthouse not in compliance with the current safety and security guidelines contained in the Virginia Courthouse Facility Guidelines and the courthouse cannot be feasibly renovated to correct the non-compliance. This bill is identical to SB 1387.
