        5. That on or before September 1, 2002, each agency or institution having a capital project listed in this act shall provide to the Governor and the chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee an implementation plan for the completion of such projects. The plan shall include as a minimum: (i) the proposed construction schedule for each project indicating the anticipated start-up date for the project as well as the projected completion date for the project, taking into consideration the budgetary and programmatic capacity of the agency or institution to operate the completed capital project, (ii) detailed draw schedules indicating the monthly cash needs to finance expenditures from the start-up date to the completion date of each project, and (iii) an estimate of the additional costs for the staffing and equipping of each project as well as an identification of the anticipated source of funding to cover such additional costs for each project. The Governor shall prescribe a uniform format for the preparation of this submission by each affected agency or institution.

        6. That on or before January 15, 2003, the Governor shall release his proposed plan for the execution of the capital projects listed in this act. To the extent practicable, the Governor’s plan shall be based on the implementation plans submitted by the agencies and institutions pursuant to the fifth enactment of this act. However, the Governor shall modify such implementation plan, as necessary, to provide for the orderly issuance of the bonds authorized in this act and to ensure that the Commonwealth (i) stays within the appropriations in the general appropriation act to pay the debt service on such bonds, (ii) acts within its budgetary ability to open and operate such completed capital projects, (iii) adheres to the limits of its capacity to issue tax-supported debt, and (iv) complies with all other provision of law regarding its authority to issue debt.

        Should the Governor find the need to make modification in any of the project schedules proposed by state agencies and institutions to meet the purposes stated herein, he shall direct the Secretary of Finance to confer with the chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee and the House Appropriations Committee and with the affected state agencies and institutions and develop criteria to determine which projects continue on schedule as planned and which projects are deferred.

        7. That commensurate with the release of the Governor’s proposed plan for the execution of the capital projects pursuant to the sixth enactment of this act, the Secretaries of Administration and Finance shall jointly release recommendations to expedite the capital outlay review process as set forth in § 2.2-1132 of the Code of Virginia. Such recommendations shall indicate whether they can be implemented administratively or whether legislation will be necessary prior to their implementation.

        8. That the Secretary of Finance, in conjunction with the Secretaries of Education and Administration, shall provide to the chairmen of the Senate Finance Committee and House Appropriations Committee, beginning in 2003, by September 1 of each year, until such capital projects as are herein authorized are completed, a status report on the projects, including (i) the status of compliance with the expedited capital outlay review process as set forth in the seventh enactment of this act and § 2.2-1132 of the Code of Virginia, and (ii) the most recent approved draw schedules for the projects included in this act.
