Explanation

(This amendment provides $38,000 from the general fund in the second year to the Chesapeake Bay Commission. This amount represents Virginia's share of funds required to hire an independent outside evaluator to verify the impact of clean-up efforts undertaken in the 6-state Chesapeake Bay Region. Such funds will not be released until such time as all six states - Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New York - commit to provide equal amounts of funding for this purpose. This proposal has been advanced by Congressman Rob Wittman and Senator Mark Warner as necessary steps following the passage of the Chesapeake Bay Accountability and Recovery Act by Congress in December 2014.)
