Operating Budget Addenda (in order of greatest impact)
•
Transfer responsibility for federal food programs to Department of Education Decision Package

Increase restaurant inspection fee Decision Package
  Increases restaurant inspection fees to cover approximately one-third of the program costs and generate approximately $5.4 million for the agency and the locally administered health districts. Of that amount, $3.1 million GF represents the state share and $2.2 million represents the amount credited to the localities' share of the cooperative budget. The two locally administered health districts would generate an additional $1.1 million; since they collect their own revenue there is no balancing entry required as part of the cooperative budget.

Nongeneral Fund $0 $3,176,817

Modify language pertaining to the sale of birth, marriage, and divorce records in the health districts Decision Package
  Improves the accessibility of the vital records, (birth, marriage, divorces) to citizens of the Commonwealth by providing them at the local health districts.

This amendment would also direct a 35 percent distribution of new vital record revenues collected in the local health districts to the central Division of Vital Records to maintain operations.
•
Revert nongeneral fund cash Decision Package
  Transfers nongeneral fund cash balances from various funds. The agency has identified eight funds from which the transfers will occur.

Strike Paragraph Related to the VA Student Loan Repayment Program Decision Package

•
Transfer appropriation to the correct program Decision Package
