Supplemental Appropriation to the Department of Homeland Security - Office of the Secretary from the Unappropriated Surplus Balance.
HB 5311 allocates $132,000 from West Virginia's unspent surplus funds to the Department of Homeland Security's Office of the Secretary for the Fusion Center during fiscal year 2026. This supplemental appropriation adds a new budget line item to fund the Fusion Center's operations without increasing the state's overall budget. The bill directly affects the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center by providing specific funding from existing unappropriated surplus balances. It is a procedural budget adjustment, not a policy change, to reallocate unused state funds.
