Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section 
 numbered 9.1-110.1 as follows:

� 9.1-110.1. Security Enhancement Grant Fund.

A. There is hereby created in the 
 state treasury a special nonreverting fund to be known as the Security 
 Enhancement Grant Fund, referred to in this section as "the Fund." 
 The Fund shall be established on the books of the Comptroller. All funds 
 appropriated for such purpose and any gifts, donations, grants, bequests, and other 
 funds received on its behalf shall be paid into the state treasury and credited 
 to the Fund. Interest earned on moneys in the Fund shall remain in the Fund and 
 be credited to it. Any moneys remaining in the Fund, including interest 
 thereon, at the end of each fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund 
 but shall remain in the Fund. Moneys in the Fund shall be used solely for the 
 purposes of providing grants to enhance 
 security for places of worship. Appropriate 
 security measures for grant proposals include (i) securing security personnel, (ii) installation 
 of monitoring equipment and alarm systems, and (iii) construction 
 of barriers and 
 other structural modifications. Expenditures 
 and disbursements from the Fund shall be made by the State Treasurer on 
 warrants issued by the Comptroller upon written request signed by the Director of the 
 Department of Criminal Justice Services.

B. The Board shall establish guidelines, 
 procedures, and objective criteria for the award and distribution of grants 
 from the Fund.
