Explanation
(This amendment eliminates language in the introduced budget making the additional funding for the Virginia Public Guardian and Conservator Program contingent upon the Governor's proposed tax plan. The introduced budget added $110,000 in the first year and $250,000 in the second year to establish five new Public Guardian and Conservator Programs in unserved areas. Currently, nine programs operate throughout the state and serve elderly and disabled adults who have no family or friends able to provide guardian services. This is one of several amendments addressing contingency funding for Olmstead initiatives.)
