It shall be the responsibility of the Governor to administer a special fund for disbursement of moneys to the beneficiary of a deceased person as defined by the Line of Duty Act (§ 9.1-400, et seq.).

There is hereby created in the state treasury a special nonreverting fund to be known as the Special Disbursement for Line of Duty Death Fund, hereafter referred to as "the Fund."
