1995 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15.1-362.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 15.1-362.1. Fee for solid waste disposal by counties.
A. Floyd County, and any county with a population between 39,550 and
41,550, and any county with a population between 31,650 and 32,000 may
levy a fee for the disposal of solid waste not to exceed the actual cost
incurred by such the county in procuring, developing,
maintaining, and improving such the landfill and for such
reserves as may be necessary for capping and closing such landfill in the
future. Such fee as collected shall be deposited in a special account to
be expended only for the purposes for which it was levied. Except in Floyd
County and any county with a population between 39,550 and 41,450, such fee
shall not be used to purchase or subsidize the purchase of equipment used for
the collection of solid waste.
B. Any fee imposed by subsection A when combined with any other fee or
charge for disposal of waste shall not exceed the actual cost incurred by
such the county in procuring, developing, maintaining, and
improving its landfill and for such reserves as may be necessary for capping
and closing such landfill in the future.
C. Any county which imposes the fee allowed under subsection A may enter into a contractual agreement with any water or heat, light, and power company or other corporation coming within the provisions of Chapter 26 (§ 58.1-2600 et seq.) of Title 58.1 except Appalachian Power Company and Powell Valley Electric Cooperative for the collection of such fee. The agreement may include a commission for such service in the form of a deduction from the fee remitted. The commission shall be provided for by ordinance, which shall set the rate not to exceed five percent of the amount of fees due and collected.
