Item 326 #6s

Language
Page 289, line 13, strike "$828,507" and insert "$5,108,541".

Explanation
(This amendment provides $4.3 million the second year to fund the costs associated with operating 100 inpatient civil commitment beds for nine months at the proposed Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation in Nottoway County. General fund operating costs of $6.1 million will be transferred from the existing facility to the new facility when it opens in the fall of 2007. Implementation of an Intensive Community Containment Program contained in Item 383, based on the state of Texas' successful and cost-effective outpatient treatment program, will diminish the need for additional beds at the new facility.)
