Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 63-107 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 63-107. (a) The secretary shall monthly reimburse each county
and city to the extent of one dollar of State money for each sixty cents
of local money expended for aid to the blind under the provisions of this
law. Such funds as are received from the United States and agencies
thereof as grants-in-aid for the purpose of providing, or assisting in pro-
viding, for aid to the blind shall monthly be paid by the secretary to each
county and city as reimbursement of the federal share of such grants
as have been paid by each county and city under the provisions of this
law. In any case where there shall be a board representing two or more
counties and/or cities as provided in § 68-51, the Commissioner may
monthly reimburse the localities represented by such board as they may
agree. Administrative expenditures incurred by the localities in connection
with aid to the blind shall be ascertained by the State Board and the
secretary shall monthly reimburse each county and city therefor out of
State and federal funds in an amount not less than fifty per centum nor
mare than sixty-two and one-half per centum of such administrative
costs.
