•
Adjust constitutional officer position chart Decision Package
  Updates the constitutional officer position chart to reflect the 11 additional positions needed the second year to support the Phase I expansion at the Central Virginia Regional Jail.

The technical adjustment is for 29 positions the first year and 62 the second year.
•
Realign appropriations for sheriffs and regional jails Decision Package
  Redistributes operating and per diem appropriations to more accurately reflect funding currently allocated by the Compensation Board.

Adjust funding included in the introduced budget regarding an increase in the starting salary for entry level sheriffs General Assembly Adjustment

This amendment, along with the amendment to Item 467, provides the same salary increase for grade 7 deputy sheriffs that was proposed in the introduced budget. This amendment also specifies that entry-level correctional officers employed at regional jails are also included in this salary adjustment. This amendment eliminates language which required localities to automatically provide, and fund, future salary increases when the income levels for the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program is increased.

•
Amend language regarding collection of delinquent fines, costs, forfeitures, penalties, and restitution General Assembly Adjustment

The language allows the six Treasurers currently contracting with the Commonwealth's Attorneys on a contingency basis to continue to do so through June 2018 and requires that any collections received by the Treasurers in excess of their costs be split on a 50-50 basis between the Commonwealth and the locality, consistent with the policy for Commonwealth's Attorneys.
•
Authorize the Compensation Board to withhold sheriff and jail funding General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment authorizes the Compensation Board to withhold sheriff and jail funding from a locality if the Superintendent of State Police provides notification that the sheriff's office of that locality is not complying with the requirements of transmittal of information to the Sex Offender and Crimes Against Minors Registry.
