Explanation
(This amendment adds $1.0 million the second year from the general fund to restore funding to operate the current three poison control centers serving Virginia. Chapter 3, 2012 Special Session 1, Virginia Acts of Assembly provides $500,000 from the general fund in the first year only for the operation of two poison control centers instead of three. This additional funding will ensure continued support for statewide operation of poison control services for the Commonwealth.)
