Page 510, after line 15, insert:

"Pursuant to projects authorized and funded in paragraph E.1 of Items C-39.40 of Chapter 1 of the Acts of Assembly of 2014, operations of the Virginia General Assembly will temporarily move and operate from the Pocahontas Building bounded by the following streets 9th to the west, 10th to the east, Bank to the north, and Main to the south in the City of Richmond.  This temporary move will result in the Commonwealth's legislative activities to be concentrated in an area requiring traffic and pedestrian operational security enhancements.  As such, and pursuant to the responsibilities of the Department of General Services (§ 2.2-1129) and the Virginia Capitol Police (§ 30-34.2:1), Bank Street from 9th to 14th Street in the City of Richmond shall be controlled by the Department of General Services and the Virginia Capitol Police while the Virginia General Assembly is located in the Pocahontas Building.  Vehicular travel limitations and pedestrian management needs on and along Bank Street shall be determined jointly by the Department of General Services and the Virginia Capitol Police during that time.  The Department of General Services and the Virginia Capitol Police will coordinate its Bank Street decisions with the City of Richmond.

The projects stated in the Chapter referenced above also include new permanent facilities for state government operations.  Design precedence for permanent facilities will accommodate the operational needs of state government resources identified to occupy and conduct state business within the funded projects."
