Bill > SB874

This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation, meaning it's an additional allocation of funds, to the Department of Human Services for the fiscal year 2026, which runs until June 30, 2026. The appropriation comes from the State Fund, General Revenue, which is the state's main source of tax income. Specifically, the bill adds funds to account 0403, which is designated for the Division of Human Services (covering West Virginia Code Chapters 9, 48, and 49), and is part of the organization code 0511. The added funds are for "Personal Services and Employee Benefits" totaling $1,630,466 and "Current Expenses" totaling $3,846,107, indicating an increase in spending for employee-related costs and general operational expenditures within the department. This action is taken because the Governor's budget document indicated an unappropriated balance in the state treasury available for such additional spending.
