Explanation

(This amendment provides $800,000 from the general fund in fiscal year 2016 for the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Investment Authority (IEIA). The IEIA is currently projecting a revenue shortfall that would require the authority to lay off 20% of their staff. The newly appointed CEO has requested these funds to get through the current fiscal year and to allow him and the Board time to thoroughly review the authority's operations and business model.)
