However, if the amount of such moneys collected in a fiscal year pursuant to Item 443 B of this act exceeds the actual costs incurred during that year for the testing of such petroleum dispensing pumps then, as soon as practicable after the close of the fiscal year, the Commissioner shall report such excess to the Comptroller, who shall then transfer such excess to the Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund established pursuant to the provisions of § 62.1-44.34:11

Explanation
(This amendment is a companion amendment to Item 443 to fund the Weights and Measures Inspection program pursuant to Senate Bill 261. This amendment appropriates revenue from a fee of one-tenth of one cent on each gallon of fuel, collected at the rack. All such funds shall only be used for the inspection of petroleum dispensing devices. The remaining general fund appropriation will be used for the inspection of all other weights and measures devices. The Department will now be required to inspect each device at least annually, as opposed to the current schedule of about once every two years.)
