Authorizing Division of Highways transfer of spending authority between appropriations
HB 2559 allows the West Virginia Division of Highways to transfer spending authority between different budget lines within the State Road Fund during a fiscal year. This means the Commissioner can move funds from underused categories (like road construction) to areas with higher needs (like maintenance) when forecasts change unexpectedly. The bill requires the Division to report all such transfers annually to the Governor and the Joint Legislative Commission, including the specific funds involved, amounts, dates, and reasons. It does not change the total annual funding for the State Road Fund, only provides flexibility to reallocate existing budgeted resources as needed.
