Explanation
(This amendment requires the Department for the Aging to examine the Virginia Public Guardian and Conservator Program and to work with groups to determine how the goals of the program can be accomplished without the use of state funding. Funding for the local programs is reduced by $100,000 the first year and funding for the Advisory Board is eliminated. Funding for the entire program is eliminated in the second year.)
