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 from specified funds, primarily the General Revenue Fund and the State Road Fund. The claims include payments to organizations such as the West Virginia Association of Rehabilitation Facilities and various individuals, totaling significant amounts across multiple departments, including the Department of Health, Department of Administration, and the Department of Transportation.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Legislative Claims Commission must receive 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 related to these claims.
