2013 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 18.2-248.02 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 18.2-248.02. Allowing a minor or incapacitated person to be present during manufacture or attempted manufacture of methamphetamine prohibited; penalties.
Any person 18 years of age or older who knowingly allows (i)
a minor under the age of 15, (ii) a minor 15 years of age or older with whom he
maintains a custodial relationship over a child under the age of 18,
including but not limited to as a parent, step-parent, grandparent,
step-grandparent, or who stands in loco parentis with respect to such child
minor, and who knowingly allows that child or (iii) a mentally
incapacitated or physically helpless person of any age, to be present in
the same dwelling, apartment as defined by § 55-79.2, unit of a hotel as defined
in § 35.1-1, garage, shed, or vehicle during the manufacture or attempted
manufacture of methamphetamine as prohibited by subsection C1 of § 18.2-248 is
guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not less than 10 nor more
than 40 years. This penalty shall be in addition to and served consecutively
with any other sentence.
2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities; therefore, Chapter 3 of the Acts of Assembly of 2012, Special Session I, requires the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of $50,000. Pursuant to § 30-19.1:4, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation is $0 for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.
3. That the provisions of this act shall not become effective unless an appropriation of general funds effectuating the purposes of this act is included in a general appropriation act passed by the 2013 Session of the General Assembly, which becomes law.
4. That the General Assembly determines that the requirements of the third enactment of this act have been met.
