Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 55-169 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 55-169. Their bond; their removal.
Each escheator shall give bond before the circuit court of the county or
the city for the judicial circuit for which he is
appointed in the circuit court for the locality in which he resides,
in the penalty of $3,000, and may continue in office until removed or until a
successor is duly appointed and qualified. If property in another
locality within the appointed judicial circuit escheats to the Commonwealth at
the inquest hearing, the escheator shall give bond within that locality as

of a percentage of the assessed value of the property according to the records
of the commissioner of the revenue. The bond must be obtained within ten days
following the inquest hearing.
