Explanation
(This amendment restores funding and positions to continue operating the Commonwealth Center for Children and Adolescents (CCCA) in Staunton, which was slated for closure in the introduced budget. Language is also eliminated that would have transferred $2.1 million the second year from the general fund from the facility to the community to provide inpatient mental health services for indigent children previously served by the CCCA. Companion amendments in items 315 and 322 delete language closing the facility, remove the funding in the central office for the community care of CCCA patients and modify language to effect these changes. It is the intent of the General Assembly that the restoration of this funding shall be properly accounted for in calculating the revised amount of savings from executive management actions contained in Items 322.05 and §4-1.08 during the enrollment of HB1600/SB 850, as adopted by the 2009 General Assembly.)
