Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 2.1-190.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 2.1-190.1. Admissibility of reproductions of checks in evidence; compliance with subpoena.
A. A reproduction of any check or draft drawn by the Treasurer of Virginia,
when satisfactorily identified, is as admissible in evidence as the original
itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding, civil or criminal,
whether the original is in existence or not and a satisfactorily identified
enlargement of such reproduction is likewise admissible. The introduction of
a reproduced check or draft or of an enlargement thereof does not preclude
admission of the original. Any such check or draft, reproduction or
enlargement purporting to be sealed, or sealed and signed, or
signed alone by the State Treasurer or on his behalf by a
designated an employee of the Department of
Treasury Commonwealth of Virginia designated by the State
Treasurer, may be considered satisfactorily identified and admitted as
evidence, without any proof of the seal or signature, or of the official
character of the person whose name is signed to it.
B. The State Treasurer and each employee of the Department of
Treasury or an employee of the Commonwealth of Virginia designated
by the State Treasurer, when served with any summons, subpoena,
subpoena duces tecum or order, directing him to produce any check or draft
kept by or in the possession of the Department of Treasury
any agency or institution of the Commonwealth, may comply
therewith by certifying a reproduction or enlargement thereof in accordance
with the preceding subsection and mailing such reproduction or enlargement in
a sealed envelope to the clerk of court. Upon good cause shown, any court may
direct the Treasurer or any employee of the Department of
Treasury an employee of the Commonwealth of Virginia designated by
the State Treasurer to appear personally, notwithstanding any other
provision of this section.
2. That § 2.1-234 of the Code of Virginia is repealed.
