Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That the Code of Virginia is amended by adding a section numbered 2.1-394.2 as follows:
§ 2.1-394.2. Overall spending target set by the General Assembly.
The General Assembly, by joint resolution adopted on or before May 1 in odd-numbered years, may prescribe an overall spending target for the biennial period beginning with July 1 of the next even-numbered year. The target shall be the basis for the preparation of a budget plan and bill by the Governor for the regular session of the General Assembly in the next even-numbered year. Notwithstanding any overall spending target adopted by the General Assembly under this section, the Governor may submit to the General Assembly a different budget plan and bill which may be greater than or less than any target established by the General Assembly.
