Explanation
(This amendment adjusts the deposit to the Water Quality Improvement Fund (WQIF) based on an error in the original calculation; appropriates interest earned on the fund, which is estimated at $1,000,000; removes language that provided for the WQIF to be used for activities that are not authorized by law; and, restates the intent of the General Assembly as to the use of the WQIF, as established by the Virginia Water Quality Improvement Act of 1997.)
