2015 Code of Virginia
Title 10.1 - Conservation
§ 10.1-2211.1. Disbursement of funds appropriated for caring for Revolutionary War cemeteries and graves

VA Code § 10.1-2211.1 (2015) What's This?

A. At the direction of the Director, the Comptroller of the Commonwealth is instructed and empowered to draw annual warrants upon the State Treasurer from any sums that may be provided in the general appropriation act, in favor of the treasurers of Revolutionary War memorial associations caring for cemeteries as set forth in subsection B. Such sums shall be expended by the associations for the routine maintenance of their respective Revolutionary War cemeteries and graves and for the graves of Revolutionary War soldiers and sailors not otherwise cared for in other cemeteries, and in erecting and caring for markers, memorials, and monuments to the memory of such soldiers and sailors. All such associations, through their proper officers, are required after July 1 of each year to submit to the Director a certified statement that the funds appropriated to the association or organization in the preceding fiscal year were or will be expended for the routine maintenance of cemeteries specified in this section and the graves of Revolutionary War soldiers and sailors and in erecting and caring for markers, memorials and monuments to the memory of such soldiers and sailors. A cemetery association failing to comply with any of the requirements of this section shall be prohibited from receiving moneys allocated under this section for all subsequent fiscal years until the association fully complies with the requirements.

B. Allocation of appropriations made pursuant to this section shall be based on the number of graves, monuments and markers as set forth opposite the cemetery name, or as documented by each association multiplied by the rate of five dollars or the average actual cost of routine maintenance, whichever is greater, for each grave, monument or marker in the care of a cemetery association. For the purposes of this section the "average actual cost of care" shall be determined by the Department in a biennial survey of at least four properly maintained cemeteries, each located in a different geographical region of the Commonwealth.
