That's exactly why the fees were upheld in court yesterday. They are explicitly for raising money.
Four other states have the same type of laws.
On the plus side for out-of-towners, even if your state has reciprocity with VA, it doesn't apply because they "fines" are deemed to be "fees", thus they are a civil matter and don't fall under the reciprocity requirements.
