1. That § 53.1-128 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 53.1-128. Workforces and authorized work places.
The local governing body of any county, city or town may
establish workforces in the county, city or town under such conditions as it
may prescribe. Such workforces are authorized to work on (i)
public property or works owned, leased or operated by the
Commonwealth or the county, city or town; on (ii)
a privately operated national park on federal land; on (iii)
any property owned by a nonprofit organization that is exempt from taxation
under 26 U.S.C. § 501(c)(3) or (c)(4) and that is organized and operated
exclusively for charitable or social welfare purposes whether the same is
located within such county, city or town, or elsewhere; or on (iv)
private property (a) owned
or occupied by an elderly or indigent person or persons where such property has
been identified by a citizens housing advisory committee as needing
rehabilitation or repair and the property owner has consented to such work or (b) classified as or used as a cemetery where
on such property exist nuisances that have been identified by a municipal
corporation for removal pursuant to §
15.2-1115 or a similar local ordinance. Every person 18
years of age or older who is convicted and confined for any violation of a
local ordinance and who is confined as a punishment or for failure to pay a
required fine, shall be liable to work in such workforce. Every person 18 years
of age or older who is confined pending disposition of a nonviolent criminal offense
or an offense under Chapter 5 (§ 20-61 et seq.) of Title 20 may work in such
workforce on a voluntary basis with the approval of and under the supervision
of the sheriff.
