[ H 375 ]

Approved April 5, 1950

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. § 1. Each local board of public welfare shall, on or before
the fifteenth day of each month, furnish the governing body of
its county or city with a detailed report covering the month
preceding that in which such report is made, and shall include
therein, (a) receipts; (b) disbursements and the source from
which they were derived; (c) administrative expenses; and
(d) a list of the applicants for public assistance and the persons
to whom such assistance was granted, including the amount of
money, property or services received by each recipient.

§ The local boards shall also include in their monthly
report such additional information as the governing bodies of
their counties or cities may reasonably require.

That part of each monthly report which pertains
to the list of persons applying for or receiving public assistance,
and the amounts so received by such person, shall not be placed
upon the minutes of the governing bodies or spread upon their
official records, but shall be filed in a special book provided
therefor. Such book shall not be open to public inspection and
if any person wilfully discloses any information contained
therein, for purposes other than directly connected with the
administration of the Virginia Public Welfare and Assistance
Law, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction,
shall be punished accordingly.

2. All acts and parts of acts in conflict herewith are repealed
to the extent of such conflict.
