This bill establishes certain claims against various state departments and agencies in West Virginia as moral obligations of the state, directing the Auditor to issue warrants for their payment. The claims include amounts owed to the Department of Health, Bureau for Public Health; Department of Administration; Department of Health and Human Resources; Department of Military Affairs & Public Safety, Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation; Department of Transportation, Division of Highways; Department of Health, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner; Department of Administration, Office of Technology; and the West Virginia Developmental Disabilities Council. The bill specifies the amounts to be paid from the General Revenue Fund and the State Road Fund, totaling significant sums for various claimants, including organizations and individuals.

Additionally, the bill mandates 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.
