HB 4428 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

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

This bill requires West Virginia's Treasurer to transfer 50% of unused funds in special revenue accounts (like those set aside for specific projects) into the main state budget within 30 days. It applies to all such accounts except where federal law, repayment obligations, or bond security would be jeopardized. The Treasurer cannot make new transfers from these accounts until the initial 50% transfer is completed. This changes how the state handles leftover funds from targeted revenue sources, directing them toward general state spending.
