of this act shall have no expiration date.
2. That Chapter 951 of the Acts of Assembly of 2005 is
amended by adding a seventh enactment as follows:
7.
That notwithstanding any provision of this act, the total amount appropriated
in the second year to state, nonstate and other entities through the various
items of appropriations as set forth in the act, is hereby appropriated for the same purposes
and in the same amounts for the period beginning July 1, 2006, and ending midnight on June 30, 2007. In addition, all
relevant language constituting limitations, conditions, powers, duties, responsibilities,
and directives shall be applicable to such appropriations and to the operation
of government and its instrumentalities, mutatis mutandis. Beginning July 1, 2006, the Governor shall immediately reduce such
amounts so appropriated herein by any one-time expenditure that was
appropriated for the 2005-06 fiscal year and that was actually consummated
during the 2005-06 fiscal year. The
Governor shall perform all actions necessary to ensure receipt by the
Commonwealth of all nongeneral funds including, but not limited to, the
allocation of matching funds for federal fund draw-downs, and may transfer
funds, without limitation, from one account to another, as may be necessary to
protect the financial interests of the Commonwealth.
All
general fund revenues carried forward from the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, shall be deposited
into the Revenue Stabilization Fund to the extent required under Article X, Section 8 of the Constitution of
Virginia.
3. That any general appropriation act (i) passed by the
General Assembly subsequent to the date of enactment of this act, (ii)
appropriating the revenues of the Commonwealth for the period beginning July 1,
2006, and ending June 30, 2008, inclusive, and (iii) which becomes law prior to
July 1, 2006, shall supersede the provisions of this act and the provisions of
this act shall immediately expire upon the enactment of such general
appropriation act.
