Explanation

(This amendment would increase the second year funding for the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation to the amount called for in HB 1398 of the 2013 General Assembly and include language requiring the VLCF to conduct a grant competition for the entire $16.0 million prior to December 31, 2018. This will give the General Assembly the opportunity to see the proposed projects and how they ranked prior to the money actually being granted.)
