2017 SESSION
17101604DBe it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 19.2-294.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 19.2-294.2. Procedure when aliens convicted of certain felonies; duties of probation and parole officer.
A. Whenever a person is (i) convicted in a circuit court of
any felony and (ii) referred to a probation or parole officer for a report
pursuant to § 19.2-299, or for probation supervision, the probation or parole
officer shall inquire as to the citizenship of such person. If upon inquiry it
is determined that the person may be an alien based upon his failure to produce
evidence of United States citizenship, the probation or parole officer shall
report this determination to the Central Criminal Records Exchange of the
Department of State Police on forms
provided in
a format approved by the
Exchange.
B. The inquiry required by this section need not be made if it is apparent that a report on alien status has previously been made to the Central Criminal Records Exchange pursuant to this section.
C. It shall be the responsibility of the Central Criminal Records Exchange of the Department of State Police to review arrest reports submitted by law-enforcement agencies and reports of suspected alien-status inquiries made by probation or parole officers, and to report within sixty days of final disposition to the Law Enforcement Support Center of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement the identity of all convicted offenders suspected of being an alien.
