Page 276, line 4, strike "$6,791,432" and insert "$4,800,432".

Explanation
(This amendment decreases funding in the second year for the Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation. The introduced budget assumed a need for an additional $3.6 million general fund in fiscal year 2005 and $5.6 million general fund in fiscal year 2006 for the civil commitment and treatment of sexually violent offenders resulting in an added 104 positions for a facility projected to house 55 sexually violent predators by the end of fiscal year 2006. These new positions would be in addition to the current staffing of 73 full-time equivalent positions. Currently, the Center houses two individuals and the census is growing at a significantly slower rate than originally projected.)
