Explanation
(This amendment provides $13.0 million from the general fund to the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) in order to protect the public and maintain the state's primacy in environmental matters delegated to Virginia by the federal government. The amendment addresses budget shortfalls in the agency's water and waste management programs without having to increase permit fees.)
