For each year, $429,032 (GF) and $49,420 (NGF).
-
Provide funding to correct for funding split of Central Appropriations amountsProvides funding for a general fund shortfall that resulted from an incorrect fund split between general and nongeneral funds for the agency's Central Appropriations distributions. For each year, $283,142 (GF).
-
Provide funding for salary increases for safety and health workers in the Northern Virginia areaProvides funding for competitive salary increases for compliance occupational safety and health compliance officers (CSHOs) in the Northern Virginia region. The department has experienced great difficulty in recent years hiring and retaining highly skilled CSHOs in the Northern Virginia area due to increased competition from the private and federal sectors. This funding is needed to retain safety and health workers who play a critical role in protecting Virginia's workers. For 2009, $61,216 (GF). For 2010, $128,560 (GF).
-
Continue 2008 budget reductionsContinues the budget reductions included in the Governor's 2008 reduction plan into the 2008-10 biennium. For each year, a reduction of $256,000 (GF).
-
Provide funding for Agency Risk Management and Internal Control Standards DirectiveProvides funding and staff to aid with the Agency Risk Management and Internal Control Standards (ARMICS) Directive, mandated by the Office of the Comptroller’s Directive 1-07. The agency has no internal audit staff or other administrative staff available to absorb this function. The addition of this management level position will ensure compliance with requirements of ARMICS. For 2009, $119,824 (GF) and one position. For 2010, $125,769 (GF).
-
Modify language to include all voluntary compliance programsModifies existing language to allow the department to use civil penalties retained, as authorized by the 2007 Appropriation Act, as the match for federal funding for both of its occupational safety and health voluntary compliance programs. The language as currently written implies that the retained funding may be used as a match for only one of the agency's two voluntary compliance programs.
