Supplementing and amending appropriations to Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Correctional Units

This bill provides additional funding to West Virginia's Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation for the fiscal year 2025. The legislation directs money from the state's unappropriated surplus balance to support various correctional facilities, including employee benefits, current operational expenses, and inmate medical costs. Specifically, the funds are allocated to six correctional centers - Charleston, Beckley, Anthony, Huttonsville, Northern, and Pruntytown - as well as administrative functions like facilities planning and the Children's Protection Act. By amending the existing budget bill, the measure ensures these correctional units have the necessary resources to maintain operations and care for inmates during the upcoming fiscal year.
