Delegates Maynard, Sponaugle and Boggs move to amend the bill on page three, section thirty-three-a, beginning on line sixty-two, by striking out subsection (e) in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof a new subsection (e) to read as follows:

“(e) Upon the conclusion of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020 2022, the provisions of this section and §12-4-14a of this code shall expire and be of no further force and effect and the Volunteer Fire Department Workers’ Compensation Premium Subsidy Fund shall be closed. Upon closure of the fund, from any balances therein remaining, the State Auditor shall first, to the extent available, transfer to the Fire Protection Fund an amount equal to the aggregate of funds deposited into the Volunteer Fire Department Workers’ Compensation Premium Subsidy Fund during the fiscal years ending June 30, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 pursuant to subsection (b) of this section that would otherwise have been required to be deposited into the Fire Protection Fund, and any balances thereafter remaining in the Volunteer Fire Department Workers’ Compensation Premium Subsidy Fund shall expire to the General Revenue Fund of the state.  Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, on June 30, 2020, the State Auditor shall transfer one million eight hundred thousand dollars from the Volunteer Fire Department Workers’ Compensation Premium Subsidy Fund to the Fire Service Equipment and Training Fund created pursuant to §29-3-5f of this code.”
