Explanation

(This amendment restores $2.1 million the first year and $4.2 million the second year to fully fund statewide implementation, effective January 1, 2021, of the Virginia Mental Health Access Program (VMAP), an integrated care program that increases access for children and adolescents to behavioral health services through enhanced pediatric training, psychiatric consultations, telehealth, and care navigation. These funds were included in the budget passed in March, but subsequently unallotted in April due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eliminated in the introduced budget for the Special Session.)
