House Bill 3511 proposes to supplement and amend the appropriations of public funds from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, specifically for the Department of Arts, Culture, and History, Division of Culture and History, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025. The bill includes new items of appropriation, which are intended to enhance the financial resources available for the division's current expenses and capital improvements. The total appropriations for the fiscal year 2025 will include $13,099 for current expenses and $66,100 for capital improvements, with the respective general revenue funds totaling $356,819 and $2,635,388.

The bill is based on the Governor's Executive Budget Document, which outlines the cash balance and revenue estimates for the fiscal year 2025, as well as recommendations for supplemental appropriations. It also reflects the Governor's recommendation to allow the expiration of General Revenue funds from previous fiscal years to contribute to the unappropriated surplus balance. The enactment of this bill will provide the necessary funding to support the activities and projects of the Division of Culture and History in West Virginia.
