Bill > SB951

This bill, titled the "Closing Parent Education and Mediation Fund," proposes to close the Parent Education and Mediation Fund on July 1, 2026, and transfer any remaining money from that fund to the Family Court Fund. The bill amends existing West Virginia law by removing the creation of the Parent Education and Mediation Fund and instead directs its unexpended balances to the Family Court Fund, which is established elsewhere in the code. Additionally, the bill makes a conforming change to how jury costs are deposited, specifying that one-half of the remaining balance of collected jury costs will now go to the Family Court Fund, with the other half going to the Domestic Violence Legal Services Fund.
