The bill introduced by Delegates Hanshaw and Hornbuckle aims 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 Homeland Security's Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation Bureau of Juvenile Services. The bill proposes to add a new item of appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, which includes a total appropriation of $1,000,000 for the Northern Regional Juvenile Center.
This legislative action is based on the Governor's Executive Budget Document, which indicates that there is an unappropriated surplus balance available for appropriation during the fiscal year 2026. The bill outlines the necessary adjustments to the budget, ensuring that the funds are allocated appropriately to support the operations of the Bureau of Juvenile Services.
