Natural resources funding. Establishes the Virginia Natural Resources Commitment Fund. The Fund would be capitalized with appropriated funds and moneys from public and private sources. Beginning July 1, 2008, and for the next 10 years, moneys in the Fund would be distributed to the Department of Conservation and Recreation's Agricultural Best Management Practices Cost-Share Program for the implementation of agricultural best management practices (BMP). Fifty-seven percent of the moneys are to be used for matching grants to implement BMPs on agricultural lands exclusively in the Chesapeake Bay watershed and 38 percent of the moneys would be used for all other lands in the Commonwealth. Five percent of the moneys would be allocated to soil and water conservation districts. This bill is identical to SB 511 (Whipple).
