Page 381, after line 51, insert:
"Notwithstanding §§ 17.1-275.1, 17.1-275.2, 17.1-275.3, 17.1-275.4, 17.1-275.7, 17.1-275.8, and 17.1-275.9, Code of Virginia, there is hereby assessed an additional fee of ten dollars on every person convicted of a felony or criminal misdemeanor. The revenue generated by this additional fee shall be deposited to the general fund for use in supporting efforts to prevent internet crimes against children."

Explanation:
(This amendment provides for the creation of an additional $10 fee on all persons convicted of felonies and criminal misdemeanors separate from those fees included in the Code of Virginia. The additional fee is projected to produce slightly more than $1.8 million. This additional revenue will be deposited into the general fund for use in supporting efforts to protect children from internet predators and will be directed to the Northern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children task force operated by the Virginia State Police, the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children task force operated by the Bedford County Sheriff's Office, the Department of Criminal Justice Services, and the Department of Social Services. This amendment is contingent upon final passage of Senate Bill 620.)
