CHAPTER 437 An Act to amend and reenact § 15.1-21.1 of the Code of Virginia, relating to certain state funds. [S 413] Approved April 8, 1994

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 15.1-21.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 15.1-21.1. Certain Commonwealth distributions to local governments.

Any state funds that are were distributed to a county, city, town, or a local school board in support of a governmental program or function prior to a consolidation of such program or function or the governmental consolidation of the entities providing such programs or functions, shall continue to be distributed to the entity or entities carrying out the program or function after consolidation and shall not be reduced below the amounts that would have been received by each entity from the Commonwealth for the governmental program or function carried out by such consolidating entity computed on the premise that no consolidation occurred for a period of five fiscal years following the consolidation.

This section shall not prohibit the Commonwealth from terminating or modifying any program or function under which distribution to a county, city, town, or local school board has been made, and if so terminated or modified all obligations hereunder shall cease or be reduced in proportion with such modifications, as the case may be.

If any such consolidations terminate prior to the end of the five-year period, the Commonwealth's obligation under this section shall cease.

For the purposes of this statute, "consolidation" includes the reversion of a city to town status.
