Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 18.2-111 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 18.2-111. Embezzlement deemed larceny; indictment; statement from attorney for the Commonwealth.
If any person wrongfully and fraudulently use, dispose of, conceal or
embezzle any money, bill, note, check, order, draft, bond, receipt, bill of
lading or any other personal property, tangible or intangible, which he shall
have received for another or for his employer, principal or bailor, or by
virtue of his office, trust, or employment, or which shall have been
entrusted or delivered to him by another or by any court, corporation or
company, he shall be deemed guilty of larceny thereof, may be
indicted as for larceny, and proof of embezzlement under this section
shall be sufficient to sustain the charge. On the trial of every
indictment for larceny, however, the defendant, if he demands it, shall be
entitled to a statement in writing from the attorney for the Commonwealth
designating the statute he intends to rely upon to ask for conviction. Such
statement shall be furnished to the defendant, or his attorney, no later than
five days prior to the date fixed for trial on the indictment provided the
demand is made more than five days prior to such date. Embezzlement
shall be deemed larceny and upon conviction thereof, the person shall be
punished as provided in § 18.2-95 or § 18.2-96.
