This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation to the Department of Commerce, specifically the Office of the Secretary, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. It amends Chapter 11 of the Acts of the Legislature, Regular Session, 2024, known as the Budget Bill, by adding a new item of appropriation under fund 0606, organization 0327. The bill outlines the total appropriations, which amount to $2,977,755, including personal services, employee benefits, and current expenses. Notably, it 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, ensuring that these funds remain available for expenditure in 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 during the fiscal year 2025.
