Supplemental appropriation, State Road Fund
This bill provides additional funding from the State Road Fund to the West Virginia Department of Transportation's Division of Highways for the 2026 fiscal year. It authorizes the use of unappropriated money already available in the state treasury to supplement existing budget allocations for road maintenance and construction projects. The legislation does not create new spending categories but rather increases the amount of money designated for the department's current operational fund. Once passed, the additional funds become available for the department to allocate toward its approved highway and infrastructure initiatives during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.

MINOR
The primary change is the conversion of the legislative text from an 'Engrossed' draft to the final 'Enrolled' version, which includes the signatures of the Clerks, Speaker, President, and Governor. This change signifies that the bill has officially passed all legislative stages and is now law. There are no substantive policy changes to the funding amounts, scope, or eligibility criteria; the bill's financial provisions for the Department of Transportation remain exactly the same.
TECHNICAL
Added certification signatures from the Clerks of the House and Senate, the Speaker, the President, and the Governor, indicating the bill is finalized and enacted.
Removed draft headers, committee reporting dates, and navigation links that were present in the working version of the bill.
