Explanation
(This amendment is the second of two amendments that restructure the increased funding recommended in the introduced budget for new sex offender containment programs. This amendment adds $732,138 the first year and $835,138 the second year and eight positions each year from the general fund to institute a more intensive community containment program to control the rate of growth of the resident population at the Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation. This amendment provides six probation officers and two psychologists, along with satellite monitoring, for up to 48 offenders who would otherwise be civilly committed to the Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation. This amendment is contingent upon final passage of Senate Bill 559.)
