GOVERNOR TO SUBMIT A TENTATIVE BILL FOR A CAPITAL OUTLAY PLAN; GUBERNATORIAL
AMENDMENTS PROPOSED TO THE PLAN (§ 2.2-1518)

A. 1. No later than January 13, 2009, the Governor shall submit to the General
Assembly a tentative bill establishing a capital outlay plan that includes new
capital outlay projects (and previously planned or authorized capital outlay
projects) that the Governor proposes to be funded entirely or partially from
general fund-supported resources for the six fiscal years beginning July 1,
2009. Projects included in the capital outlay plan shall be in addition to any
projects for which funds are appropriated from the Central Maintenance Reserve
of the general appropriation act.

   2. The capital outlay plan submitted by the Governor shall list capital outlay
   projects in different tiers. Each tier shall be a grouping of capital outlay
   projects with the total estimated cost of each project in the tier falling
   within a minimum and a maximum project cost assigned to the tier, provided
   that no estimated project costs shall be set out in the plan. The minimum and
   maximum range assigned to a tier shall be mutually exclusive of all other
   minimum and maximum ranges assigned to other tiers in order that no capital
   outlay project shall be reported in more than one tier.
   				For each capital outlay project listed in the plan the Governor shall
   provide the following information: (i) the agency or public educational
   institution to which the project is related, (ii) a description of the
   project, and (iii) a ranking number assigned to the project, which number
   shall signify the priority of the project when compared to all other projects
   of the agency or institution listed in the plan.

B. For the 2021 Regular Session of the General Assembly and thereafter, the
Governor shall ensure that a prefiled bill is submitted to the Chairman of the
House Committee on Appropriations and the Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Finance and Appropriations in accordance with the deadlines for prefiling under
subdivision A 3 of &#xA7; 30-19.3 for any proposed amendments to the current
capital outlay plan enacted into law, including adjusting the fiscal years
covered by the plan so that the plan will cover the six fiscal years beginning
on the immediately following July 1. Any such prefiled bill shall be submitted
using the format described in subsection A.
			In submitting to the General Assembly prefiled bills for plan amendments, the
Governor shall consider the capital outlay project list submitted by the
Advisory Committee pursuant to &#xA7; 2.2-1516 and any amendments to the
six-year capital outlay plan recommended by the Advisory Committee pursuant to
such section.
