Explanation
(This amendment provides $100,000 each year from the general fund to the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' "Plant Pest and Disease Control" program to support the eradication of hydrilla on Lake Gaston, the Potomac River and other bodies of water. This invasive plant species interferes with recreation, destroys fish and wildlife habitats, and can severely degrade water delivery systems.)
