The bill passed on April 12, 2025, establishes certain claims against various state departments and agencies in West Virginia as moral obligations of the state. It directs the Auditor to issue warrants for the payment of these claims, which include amounts owed to entities such as the West Virginia Association of Rehabilitation Facilities, Eastern Electric LLC, and Ricoh USA, Inc., among others. The claims are to be paid from the General Revenue Fund and the State Road Fund, with specific amounts detailed for each claim.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Legislative Claims Commission must obtain a release from each claimant before any payments are made, ensuring that claimants relinquish any further claims related to the matters addressed in the bill. This process is intended to provide full compensation to the claimants while protecting the state from future liabilities regarding these claims.
