Explanation

(This amendment provides $18.3 million in the first year and $16.1 million in the second year in nongeneral fund appropriation for the acquisition of land for natural area preserves (NAPs). Anticipated revenues to support the nongeneral fund appropriation would come from Virginia Land Conservation Foundation grants. This amendment also strikes existing language that places specifications on the location and nature of acquisitions that can be done with regard to NAPs. A companion amendment to the operating budget for the Department of Conservation and Recreation also amends stipulations surrounding the acquisition of land for NAPs.)
