(This amendment deletes the $320,000 of special funds proposed in the Budget Bill for construction of artificial oyster reefs. The source of the special funds is the proceeds from the sale of "Friend of the Chesapeake" license tags. The Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund Advisory Committee (§10.1-2116, Code of Virginia) is directed to advise the General Assembly and the Governor on spending projects for these funds. SB 30 does not reflect the Committee's recommendations.)
