“F. Notwithstanding the provisions of §§ 58.1-816.A, 58.1-816.B, and 33.2-2600.1.B, Code of Virginia, $20,000,000 in the second year in state recordation tax revenues not deposited into the Hampton Roads Regional Trust Fund, not collected from localities in Planning District 8, and not set aside under the provisions of § 58.1-816.1., Code of Virginia, shall be apportioned and distributed quarterly to each county or city except for those counties or cities located in Planning District 8 or counties and cities in a transportation district in Hampton Roads created pursuant to § 33.2-1903, Code of Virginia, by the Comptroller by multiplying the amount to be distributed by a fraction in which the numerator is the amount of the taxes imposed under §§ 58.1-801 through 58.1-809, Code of Virginia,  and actually paid into the state treasury which are attributable to deeds and other instruments recorded in the county or city and the denominator is the amount of taxes imposed under §§ 58.1-801 through 58.1-809, Code of Virginia, actually paid into the state treasury. All distributions pursuant to clause (ii) shall be made on a quarterly basis within 30 days of the end of the quarter. Such quarterly distribution shall equal one quarter of the annual distribution amount set forth in subsection A available after the distribution required by clause (i). Each clerk of the court shall certify to the Comptroller, within 15 days after the end of the quarter, all amounts collected under §§ 58.1-801 through 58.1-809, Code of Virginia, and actually paid into the state treasury which are attributable to deeds and other instruments recorded in such county or city.”



Explanation

(This amendment offsets the $20 million distribution that was redirected to Hampton Roads Transit (HRT) with a use of General Funds generated from state recordation tax revenues to hold harmless localities not served by HRT previously receiving this distribution. This does not impact distribution to the Hampton Roads Regional Trust Fund.)
