HD87 - Recodification of Titles 14.1 and 17 of the Code of Virginia


Executive Summary:
The Virginia Code Commission voted to revise Titles 14.1 and 17 of the Code of Virginia and to report to the Governor and the 1998 Session of the General Assembly in the form of a recodified title. Because Title 14.1 covered such diverse areas of the law of costs, fees, salaries and allowances as salaries of state and local officials, fees collected by courts, and distribution of law-enforcement funds, the Commission decided to retire Title 1.4.1 and distribute the various Code provisions into the more appropriate titles of the Code. Many of these provisions have been moved into new Title 17.1. The remainder appear as new language predominantly in Title 2.1 and Title 15.2.
