State Police - VITA Separation General Assembly Adjustment
  This amendment reduces the appropriation for the Department of State Police by $5,935,000 the second year from the general fund.

Senate Bill 1115 was not adopted, and no corresponding House bill was introduced. A companion amendment to Item 476 in Central Appropriations provides $2.9 million for State Police assumption of information technology services, contingent upon a report detailing operating and capital costs needed to implement this transition and a Memorandum of Understanding with VITA setting out the first phase of the transition.
