Explanation:
(This amendment provides funding to support the additional staff required for the Rappahannock Regional Jail expansion project that is scheduled for completion in August 2008. This expansion will increase the current 592 beds available by 432 beds, bringing the total available beds to 1,024. Funding provided in the Governor's introduced budget provides funding and positions based on an estimated opening date of May 2009 -- this amendment provides the additional funds needed for the earlier scheduled opening.) |
