The Literary Fund ammendment requires that ALL fines for crimes against the commonwealth go to the Literary Fund to support education. Doesn’t have anything to do with whether the person fined is a citizen or not.
So they couldn’t increase fines to pay for road work, because they would go straight to the NEA. So they levied administrative fees on Virginia driver’s license holders that have violated traffic laws. Too clever by half.
Virginia voters need to re-ammend their constitution and undo that NEA wetdream called the Literary Fund.
Thank you for that clarification. Yes, it appears that the Literary Fund amendment is the nemesis for the Legislature. It’s an eye-opener for me because I have always thought the proceeds from all those tickets went into the general funds of the various jurisdictions.
