To remove the cap for municipalities on their stabilization fund
HB 4833 removes a 30% cap on municipal stabilization funds in West Virginia, allowing cities and towns to set higher funding levels without restriction. Currently, a municipality's stabilization fund cannot exceed 30% of its general fund budget; this bill eliminates that maximum limit. The change would directly affect all West Virginia municipalities by giving them greater flexibility to build financial reserves from surplus funds.
