Page 336, after line 41 insert:
"C.  The appropriations included in this Act for the Office of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Attorney General and Department of Law, and the General Assembly of Virginia must be funded at a level whereby the percentage reduction in their appropriation is equal to the highest budget reduction for either 1.) primary and secondary education, 2.) institutions of higher education or  3.) funding for law enforcement including sheriffs and police.)


Explanation
(This amendment would require the funding for the General Assembly, the Governor's office, the Lieutenant Governor's office, and the Attorney General's office to include funding reductions which are equal to the highest budget reduction incurred by either 1.) primary and secondary education, 2.) institutions of higher education or 3.) funding for law enforcement including sheriffs and police. The fiscal impact of this language amendment would be dependent on numerous technical aspects of the reduction calculations.)
