Funding Tobacco Use Cessation Initiative

SB 860 creates a dedicated funding source called the "Tobacco Cessation Initiative Program Special Revenue Account" to support West Virginia's tobacco cessation services. The bill mandates an annual transfer of $5 million from interest earned on the Revenue Shortfall Reserve Fund - Part B to this account, starting July 30, 2025. These funds must be used exclusively by the Bureau for Public Health to provide tobacco cessation programs for residents seeking to quit tobacco use. This ensures consistent, dedicated funding for the initiative without requiring annual legislative appropriations for the specified amount.
