"g. To add Carisoprodol to the list of Schedule IV controlled substances--$50,000."
Explanation:
(This amendment provides the "Woodrum" appropriation for House Bill 1140, which would add Carisoprodol, a prescription muscle relaxant, to the list of Schedule IV controlled substances in Virginia's drug control act. Nearly 3 million people reported to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration using this drug for non-medicinal reasons. State law requires that any legislation that would result in an increase in the prison population over the succeeding six years from its enactment be accompanied by an appropriation that would cover the increased prison operating costs in one year resulting from the additional inmates. (This is often referred to as the "Woodrum amendment".))
