This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation to the Department of Commerce, specifically the Office of the Secretary, for the fiscal year 2025. It amends Chapter 11 of the Acts of the Legislature, Regular Session, 2024, by adding a new item of appropriation under fund 0606, organization 0327. The total appropriation for the Department of Commerce is set at $2,977,755, which includes personal services, employee benefits, and current expenses. Notably, the bill introduces a new directed transfer of $1,000,000 to be allocated for specific purposes.

Additionally, the bill reappropriates any unexpended balance from the previous fiscal year for the Jobs for WV Graduates program, allowing those funds to be utilized during the current fiscal year. The directed transfer will be specifically allocated to the Marketing and Communications Operating Fund (fund 3002). This legislative action is based on the Governor's Executive Budget Document, which indicated an unappropriated balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, available for appropriation in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025.
