Notwithstanding § 2.2-1508, Code of Virginia, or any other provisions of law, on or before December 20, the Department of Planning and Budget shall deliver to the presiding officer of each house of the General Assembly a copy of the budget document containing the explanation of the Governor's budget recommendations. This copy may be in electronic format.
2. The Department of Planning and Budget shall include in the budget document the amount of projected spending and projected net tax-supported state debt for each year of the biennium on a per capita basis. For this purpose, "spending" is defined as total appropriations from all funds for the cited fiscal years as shown in the Budget Bill. The most current population estimates from the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Services shall be used to make the calculations.
D. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of law, any school division may request the Department of Planning and Budget to assist in the coordination of a school efficiency review for the division. Such assistance shall be at the discretion of the Director of the Department of Planning and Budget. Each participating school division shall pay 100 percent of the cost of the review.
E. 1.

The working capital advance may also cover any transitional post-production support operating costs prior to full transition to a new platform.
2. The Secretary of Finance shall approve the drawdowns from the working capital advance prior to the expenditure of funds. Repayment of this working capital advance shall be funded through revenues derived from charges for services. State agencies posting information in the Regulatory Town Hall shall be assessed a surcharge based on the number of transactions or other meaningful methodology as determined by the Secretary of Finance. The Department of Planning and Budget shall recover the cost of services through interagency transactions as determined by the DPB Director, in consultation with the State Comptroller.
