Operating Budget Addenda (in order of greatest impact)
Provides funding for a bonus payment of up to ten percent of an employee's salary to state employees on December 1, 2023. The bonuses will be distributed to top performing employees, based on an employee's most recent performance evaluation and in the case of employees appointed by the Governor, a determination by the Governor or his designee. Any amounts remaining at the end of the fiscal year are directed to be reappropriated in the next fiscal year for additional bonus payments.
Provides funding for a $1,500 bonus payment for full-time state employees, effective December 1, 2023. A separate amendment provides for an additional bonus payment to state employees who achieve high ratings on their most recent performance evaluation.
Provides appropriation for American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund allocations not previously authorized. The amendment also includes language directing the reversion of certain previous allocations where the prior authorized amounts would not be fully utilized.
Reflects one-time savings in higher education credit card rebates and interest earnings. Credit card rebates and interest earnings were lower than originally anticipated in the enacted budget.
Provides general fund support to reimburse the Department of Elections and localities for presidential primary expenses. Section 24.2-545 (F), Code of Virginia, requires presidential primary costs to be paid by the Commonwealth.
Aligns the Tech Talent Investment Fund (TTIF) appropriation to match institutions' authorized memorandums of understanding. The general fund appropriation provided to support the TTIF is currently more than what is transferred annually to institutions of higher education pursuant to their authorized memorandums of understanding. This amendment will align the funding provided with what is actually distributed to the institutions.
Provides funding to support the Virginia Information Technologies Agency's (VITA) efforts to enhance the statewide network. VITA will begin deployment of a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution to all customer agency locations to enhance network connectivity and resiliency.
Adjusts funding for changes in information technology and telecommunications usage by state agencies. The funding reflects the latest utilization estimates provided by the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, actual rates for 2023, and proposed rates for 2024.
Adjusts funding for the workers' compensation premiums based on the latest actuarial report. Premiums include the scheduled payback of the working capital advance used to settle workers' compensation claims.
Adjusts general fund support for the employer share of health insurance premiums. The latest actuarial report projects health insurance costs will increase by approximately 8.2 percent each year, however, the state Health Insurance Fund is projected to support a portion of the increase due to lower participant utilization. The actuarially determined rates for the state's self-insured plans assume an increase of 4.1 percent the second year, which is less than the 4.5 percent increase assumed in the current Appropriation Act. The rates for the state's two fully insured plans, Kaiser Permanente and Optima Health, are funded at the estimated contractually determined rates.
Adjusts funding to reflect the Line of Duty Act (LODA) premiums charged to agencies based on the latest employee enrollment data provided by the Virginia Retirement System. The funding in 2024 also reflects an increased rate of $830 per eligible employee as certified by the Virginia Retirement System Board of Trustees.
Provides funding to reimburse individuals who paid fines, fees, or interest due to the withdrawal, suspension, or cancellation of a state-issued license or certification due to violations of COVID-19 related practices, guidelines, rules, or operating procedures. Language associated with the funding directs that such licenses or certifications be restored. The Secretary of Finance is directed to lead a Cabinet-level work group to develop a procedure for providing reimbursement for impacted individuals.
Adjusts funding for changes in the cost of rent charged to state agencies occupying state-owned space. This adjustment reflects updated costs due to changes in agency square footage occupancy.
Provides funding for the Secretary of Finance to conduct planning and evaluate potential economic incentives related to the potential relocation of the Washington Commanders to the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any economic incentives contemplated in such a plan shall be developed in the best interest of Virginia taxpayers.
This amendment reverses the operating budget amendments proposed in HB 1400 / SB 800 as introduced. The passage of the conference substitute to HB 1400 nullifies the introduced amendments. To reflect the General Assembly action, this amendment reverses the aggregate total of proposed introduced budget changes for this agency.
This amendment funds an increase in base salaries of state employees, state-supported local employees, adjunct faculty, and graduate teaching assistants by an additional 2.0 percent during the middle of fiscal year 2024.
This amendment adjusts the distribution of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) received from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The amendment reduces previously authorized spending by $90.9 million to redeploy to new priorities. Savings are primarily generated through remaining funding from compensation adjustments for direct care staff at state facilities ($41.0 million), the utility debt relief program ($18.5 million), and Rebuild Virginia ($14.2 million). New spending of SLFRF totals $106.3 million, and includes funding for the Enhanced Nutrient Removal Certainty Program ($71.1 million), the Virginia Employment Commission to finish the appeals backlog of unemployment claims from the COVID-19 pandemic ($10.6 million), school security grants ($8.0 million), upgrades to Poor Creek Pump Station in Petersburg, Virginia ($5.0 million), and the Earn to Learn Nursing Education Acceleration program ($5.0 million).
This amendment provides $10.0 million from the general fund the second year for the purpose of expanding support for victims of mass violence. The Director of the Department of Criminal Justice Services shall convene a work group with various state agencies and stakeholders to assess options for providing sustainable coverage for out-of-pocket health and mental health expenses that are connected to a violent event, especially a mass violent event, but are not covered by insurance. The work group shall examine ways to compliment, but not duplicate, the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund; help ensure sustainability of available funding; and fill gaps in the current availability of services for individuals impacted by violent events. The work group shall report its findings by September 1, 2024 to inform the General Assembly as it adopts a structure for administering the funds. The funds will not be expended until the structure is adopted.
This amendment adjusts funding for the workers' compensation premiums based on the latest actuarial report. Premiums include the scheduled payback of the working capital advance used to settle workers' compensation claims.
This amendment transfers $2.5 million from general fund the second year to the Department of Social Services to provide state agencies with funding to facilitate and improve language access. A companion amendment in Item 347 provides the funding for this initiative.
This amendment adjusts general fund support for the employer share of health insurance premiums. The latest actuarial report projects health insurance costs will increase by
approximately 8.2 percent each year, however, the state Health Insurance Fund is projected to support a portion of the increase due to lower participant utilization. The actuarially determined rates for the state's self-insured plans assume an increase of 4.1 percent the second year, which is less than the 4.5 percent increase assumed in the current Appropriation Act. The rates for the state's two fully insured plans, Kaiser Permanente and Optima Health, are funded at the estimated contractually determined rates.
This amendment adjusts funding for changes in the cost of rent charged to state agencies occupying state-owned space. This adjustment reflects updated costs due to changes in agency square footage occupancy.
This amendment adjusts funding to reflect the Line of Duty Act (LODA) premiums charged to agencies based on the latest employee enrollment data provided by the Virginia Retirement System.

This amendment provides $250,000 from the general fund for the Secretary of Finance to evaluate economic development incentives that will aid in the relocation of sports teams and their associated facilities to the state.
