Explanation
(This amendment provides $100,000 from the general fund for the Southern Virginia and Northern Virginia Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces. A companion amendment to Item 397 transfers the appropriation for the first year for this program to this Item. This is a technical adjustment which is necessary to appropriate these funds to the correct item for the first year. A companion amendment to the Department of State Police in Item 420 provides seven nongeneral fund positions for the operation of the Northern Virginia Task Force. Item 475.50 of this Act authorizes the Governor to use $1,900,000 in the second year from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for this program.)
