The bill passed on March 13, 2026, amends the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, specifically for the Department of Commerce, WorkForce West Virginia. It supplements the existing budget by adding a new item of appropriation to fund 0572 for fiscal year 2026, organization 0323. The new appropriation includes a total of $2,000,000 designated for current expenses, sourced from the unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue.

This legislative action follows the Governor's submission of the Executive Budget Document, which outlined the available cash balance and revenue estimates for the fiscal year. The bill reflects the Legislature's decision to allocate part of the surplus funds to support the operations of WorkForce West Virginia, thereby enhancing the department's capacity to address workforce needs in the state.
