Explanation

(This amendment dedicates an estimated $7.4 million from unrefunded motor fuel collections to the Marine Resources Commission for the Virginia Waterway Maintenance Grant Program. Currently those funds are transferred to the general fund to help balance the state budget and offset the costs of Chesapeake Bay clean up. A companion amendment to Item 3-1.01 C. eliminates the transfer from the Department of Motor Vehicles to the General Fund, reducing general fund resources by a like amount.)
