Explanation
(This amendment provides $250,000 and four positions each year from the general fund and an additional $150,000 from nongeneral funds for the Wounded Warrior program. This program is intended to provide assistance in obtaining and coordinating medical, mental health and other veterans services for Virginia soldiers returning from active duty combat operations who have traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other serious physical and mental injuries. The sources of the nongeneral funds may include federal funds, grants, or private contributions. A companion amendment to Item 315 provides $500,000 from the general fund the first year for the Community Services Boards for this program. These amendments are contingent upon final passage of Senate Bill 297.)
