Explanation
(This amendment equalizes the level of general fund support provided in each year of the biennium to the Department of Environmental Quality for the payment of VITA charges with the total funding provided to the agency by the 2011 Session of the General Assembly. During the 2011 Session of the General Assembly, $800,000 per year from the general fund was provided for the Department of Environmental Quality to offset the impact of VITA's service costs on the agency's budget. However, the amount provided by the General Assembly was administratively reduced from $800,000 to $112,775 for both fiscal year 2013 and fiscal year 2014. This action reinstates the $800,000 amount originally approved by the General Assembly.)
