"The Budget Bill" means the "The Budget Bill" submitted pursuant to § 2.2-1509, including any amendments to a general appropriation act pursuant to such section.
"Nonrecurring expenditures" means the acquisition or construction of capital outlay projects as defined in § 2.2-1518, the acquisition or construction of capital improvements, the acquisition of land, the acquisition of equipment, or other expenditures of a one-time nature as specified in the general appropriation act. Such term shall not include any expenditures relating to transportation, including but not limited to transportation maintenance.
B. At the end of each fiscal year, the Comptroller shall
designate, within his annual report
pursuant to § 2.2-813 as follows: one-third
of,
the remaining amount of the general fund balance that
is not otherwise reserved or designated shall be designated by the Comptroller
for nonrecurring expenditures, and two-thirds shall be designated for deposit
into the Transportation Trust Fund. No such designation shall be made unless
the full amounts required for other reserves or designations including, but not
limited to, for
(i) the Revenue Stabilization Fund deposit pursuant to § 2.2-1829, (ii) the
Virginia Water Quality Improvement Fund deposit pursuant to § 10.1-2128, but
excluding any deposits provided under the Virginia Natural Resources Commitment
Fund established under § 10.1-2128.1, (iii) capital outlay reappropriations
pursuant to the general appropriation act, (iv) (a) operating expense

reappropriations of unexpended appropriations to certain public institutions of
higher education pursuant to § 2.2-5005, (v) pro rata rebate payments to
certain public institutions of higher education pursuant to § 2.2-5005, (vi)
the unappropriated balance anticipated in the general appropriation act for the
end of such fiscal year, and (vii) interest payments on deposits of certain
public institutions of higher education pursuant to § 2.2-5005 are set aside. The Comptroller
shall set aside amounts required for clauses (iv) (b), (v), and (vii) beginning
with the initial fiscal year as determined under § 2.2-5005 and for all fiscal
years thereafter.
C. Only after all designations under subsection B have been made to the fullest extent required under such subsection, the Comptroller shall designate, within his annual report pursuant to § 2.2-813, any remaining general fund balance exclusively as follows: 75 percent of the remaining general fund balance shall be designated for deposit into the Transportation Trust Fund established under § 33.1-23.03:1, and 25 percent of the remaining general fund balance shall be designated for nonrecurring expenditures.
CD. The Governor shall include
in "The Budget Bill" pursuant to § 2.2-1509 recommended
appropriations from the general fund or recommended amendments to general fund appropriations
in the general appropriation act in effect at that time an amount for
nonrecurring expenditures and an amount for deposit into the Transportation
Trust Fund equal to the amounts designated by the Comptroller for such purposes
pursuant to the provisions of subsection B C. Such deposit to the
Transportation Trust Fund shall not preclude the appropriation of additional
amounts from the general fund for transportation purposes.
