Requiring 50 percent of all reappropriated revenue accounts to be surrendered to general revenue

HB 2665 requires the West Virginia Treasurer to transfer 50% of the unspent funds in reappropriated revenue accounts (funds originally designated for specific purposes but later freed up) to the state’s General Revenue Fund within 30 days. This applies to all such accounts unless transferring would violate federal law, breach repayment agreements, or risk bond repayments. The bill directly affects state budget management by redirecting unused funds from specialized accounts into the general budget pool. It does not alter existing funding for specific programs but changes how unspent allocated funds are handled. The bill is currently in the House Finance Committee for review.
