2010 Session Organizational Materials

Staff Summary of HB 29 & HB 30
January 11, 2010

The joint House Appropriations and Senate Finance Committee staff summary and analysis of the Governor’s proposed amendments to the 2008-2010 budget (HB 29) and the Governor’s proposed budget for the 2010-2012 (HB 30) is now available on the  "Documents & Reports" page.

Local Aid Database

The Local Aid Database creates reports on the state aid provided to individual localities by House of Delegates district number or by House of Delegates member name.

If you are unsure of your district number or Delegate's name, you can find that information by going to the "Who's My Legislator" page on the General Assembly's website.

Information in the reports includes selected General Fund spending such as K-12 Education Payments; Constitutional Officer, Public Safety and Human Services spending and miscellaneous distributions including ABC Profits, Recordation Taxes and Car Tax Reimbursements.

About Us

The Appropriations Committee, one of 14 standing Committees of Virginia's House of Delegates, has jurisdiction over state budget matters. We hope you will find the Committee's web site useful and choose to visit it any time you have a question about the Committee, its subcommittees, or the state budget.  

The Appropriations Committee usually meets monthly during the interim and every other day of the Session upon adjournment of the full House to discuss budget matters. In addition, the Committee has ten standing Subcommittees which meet once or twice a week during the Session.  Some of the Committees' major responsibilities include:  

  • Examine revenue and expenditure assumptions in the Governor's introduced budget
  • Set funding priorities for the Commonwealth Consider requests by House members to amend (change) the introduced budget
  • Make recommendations for budgetary changes based on priorities of the Committee  

Virginia has a biennial budget which is adopted by the General Assembly in the even-numbered years and amended by the Assembly in the odd-numbered years.  Please click on the following links for more information about the Executive Budget Process or the Legislative Budget Process.  Also visit the Department of Planning and Budget's frequently asked questions  webpage for an overview of Virginia's budget.
