"X.1. The Director, Department of Corrections, shall procure and implement an electronic health records system for use in the Department's secure correctional facilities using the platform provided through Contract Number VA-121107-SMU managed by the Virginia Information Technologies Agency on behalf of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The system shall be established on a domain separate from any other procured through the Contract.

2. Included in the amounts provided for this item is $3,000,000 the second year from the general fund for a contingency fund should the costs of complying with Paragraph X.1 of this item exceed the amounts provided for such purpose in Item 391. The Director, Department of Planning and Budget, is authorized to transfer appropriation from this contingency fund to the Department of Corrections, after verification of the total costs of an electronic health records system which justifies the need for additional funding from this item."
