Page 240, line 39, insert:
"Notwithstanding §4-7.01b, should an increase in the position level number or funds for the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute be required due to agreement, litigation, or settlement with the United States Department of Justice, or in the alternative, in order to avoid such litigation, settlement or agreement, the Governor shall have the authority to make such increase.  Funding for this increase shall be provided from unexpended balances of all agencies as of June 30, 1997, or from the unappropriated balance of this act.  Any increase made under this provision shall be reported in writing to the Chairmen of the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Finance Committee within ten days of such approval."
Page 241, strike lines 1 through 3.


Explanation
(This amendment states the Governor must approve any agreement, informal or otherwise, reached with the Department of Justice. Therefore, a requirement in the introduced budget that the increase be reported to the Governor, Department of Planning and Budget and the Department of Personnel and Training is unnecessary and is deleted in this amendment. If additional funds are required, they shall be provided from the unexpended balances of all agencies or from the unappropriated balance of this act.)
