Supplementing and amending appropriations to Department of Economic Development, Office of Secretary
This bill proposes to allocate five million dollars from the state's unspent general revenue surplus to the West Virginia Department of Economic Development for fiscal year 2025. The funds are specifically designated for a new initiative titled the Childcare Expansion Pilot Program, which aims to support childcare services. Although the legislation outlines this financial provision, it was ultimately postponed indefinitely during the legislative session and did not become law.
