Approved March 31, 1960

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 53-109.1, as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended
and reenacted as follows:

§ 53-109.1. The State Highway Commission shall pay to the Director
monthly for the hours convicts are employed on the State Highway primary
system and secondary system and work incidental thereto, including re-
location and moving of convict road camps, for each hour such convict is
so employed not more than the local hourly rate for similar type of labor
in the area in which such convicts are employed and not less than seventy-
five per cent of such local hourly rate for similar type of labor in the area
where such convicts are employed as evidenced by the payrolls of the
Department of Highways in such area. Such monthly payment by the
Commission to the Director shall be made not later than the fifteenth day
of the succeeding month after the work or labor has been performed for
the Commission, provided, however, that the State Highway Commission
shall allocate the sum of three hundred thousand dollars annually to the
Director for the State convict road force to be used as an advance against
said monthly payments.
