1997 SESSION
974180112Be 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.
