1996 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 53.1-121 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 53.1-121. Sheriffs to make monthly reports to Compensation Board; failure to send report.
The sheriff shall report on the first day of each month to the
Director Compensation Board, giving the record of each prisoner
received during the preceding month on blank forms to be furnished by the
Director Compensation Board, stating whether the offense is for
violation of state law or of city or town ordinance.
If any sheriff fails to send such report within five days after the date when
the report should be forwarded, the Director Compensation Board
shall notify the sheriff of such failure. If the sheriff fails to make the
report within ten days from that date, then the Director Compensation
Board shall cause the report to be prepared from the books of the sheriff
and shall certify the cost thereof to the Comptroller. The Comptroller shall
issue his warrant on the Treasurer for that amount, deducting the same from any
funds that may be due the sheriff by the Commonwealth.
The report shall be signed by both the chief jailer and the sheriff who shall certify the accuracy of the report. Either signer found guilty of willfully falsifying the information contained in such report shall be guilty of a Class 1 misdemeanor.
