Explanation
(This amendment provides $20.0 million the second year from the general fund for the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) to construct 50 licensed skill nursing beds on the campus of the Southeastern Virginia Training Center (SEVTC). Of the 50 total beds, 10 shall be available for short-term rehabilitation placements. These beds are intended, in part, to accommodate the transfer of medically complex ID/DD patients currently residing at Hiram Davis Medical Center (HDMC) in anticipation of HDMC's pending closure. This amendment also includes language stating the General Assembly's intent for DBHDS to transfer funds equal to the operational budget of HDMC to support SEVTC upon closure of the facility.)
