SB 784 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Supplemental appropriation to Department of Human Services, fund 8793

This bill (SB 784) is a technical budget adjustment that reallocates $150,000 in existing federal funds within the West Virginia Department of Human Services' Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment program (fund 8793, organization 0511). It decreases funding for "Federal Coronavirus Pandemic" (account 430-89101) and increases funding for "Personal Services and Employee Benefits" (account 430-00100) by the same amount. The bill does not create new programs or change service eligibility; it simply shifts existing federal funds from one budget line to another to cover staffing costs. This adjustment affects only the Department of Human Services' internal budget management for fiscal year 2026.
