Supplemental Appropriation to the Department of Commerce - State Parks and Recreation Endowment Fund from Special Revenue.
HB 5318 increases funding for West Virginia's state parks and recreation operations by supplementing existing budget lines. It adds $12,000 to "Current Expenses" (raising the total to $25,000) and $6.43 million to "Other Assets" (raising the total to $6.5 million) within the Department of Commerce's State Parks and Recreation Endowment Fund. This bill uses unappropriated funds from the 2026 fiscal year to cover these increases, directly affecting the Division of Natural Resources' park management. The change is purely procedural, adjusting budget allocations without creating new policies or programs.
