Explanation
(This amendment adds $510,800 the second year from the general fund to restore funding for health care safety net providers whose funding was reduced by 50 percent in fiscal year 2014 in the introduced budget and who have entered into performance agreements with the Department of Health consistent with the § 4-5.04, paragraph l. of the general provisions of House Bill 30 related to the procurement of goods and services. Companion amendments restore funding for the Virginia Health Care Foundation, free clinics and community health centers, and the Comprehensive Health Investment Project of Virginia. This amendment would mitigate reductions to smaller health safety net organizations which were reduced in the introduced budget.)
