Description

The Virginia Commission for Allocating Funds to Nonstate Agencies. Creates a commission in the legislative branch of government to apportion or allocate lump sum appropriations for nonstate entities among specific nonstate entities. The Commission would consist of three members of the Senate appointed by the Senate Committee on Rules, three members of the House of Delegates appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates, and the Secretaries of Education, Health and Human Services, and Natural Resources, who would serve ex officio with voting privileges.

The bill would also provide that beginning January 1, 2010, all appropriations for nonstate entities would be made in a lump sum amount with no specific dollar amount of funding dedicated or otherwise allocated to any nonstate entity. The Commission would be responsible for apportioning the lump sum appropriation among nonstate entities. Read the Bill »
