Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 14.1-69 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 14.1-69. Fees and mileage allowances.

Every sheriff, and every sheriff's deputy, shall, however, continue to collect all fees and mileage allowances provided by law for the services of such officer, other than such as he would have been entitled to receive from the Commonwealth or from the county or city for which he is elected or appointed and fees and mileage allowances provided for services in connection with the prosecution of any criminal matter in the circuit courts. Such fees and mileage allowances accruing in connection with any civil or criminal matter shall be collected by the clerk of the court in which the case is heard and paid by him into the treasury of the county or city in which the case is heard. Such fees as are collected by the clerk shall be paid by him into the treasury of the county or city for which the sheriff, on account of whose services such fees are collected, is elected or appointed. All fees collected by or for every sheriff and deputy shall be paid into the treasury of the county or city for which he is elected or appointed, on or before the tenth day of the month next succeeding that in which the same are collected. The treasurer of each county and city shall credit such amounts in excess of such fees received in fiscal year 1994 to the account of the Commonwealth to be remitted to the State Treasurer along with other funds due to the Commonwealth.
