SB 817 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Supplemental appropriation to Department of Homeland Security, fund 0570

SB 817 adds $1,000,000 in supplemental funding to West Virginia’s Northern Regional Juvenile Center (part of the Bureau of Juvenile Services under the Department of Homeland Security) for fiscal year 2026. The funds come from an unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, as identified in the Governor’s 2026 budget submission. This allocation specifically supports the existing operations of the Northern Regional Juvenile Center without creating new programs or altering service requirements. The bill does not change eligibility, funding formulas, or policy standards - it simply reallocates unused state funds to a designated facility.

MINOR
The bill text was converted from a draft 'Introduced Version' to a final 'Enrolled Version' ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content, including the $1 million appropriation for the Northern Regional Juvenile Center, remains unchanged. The primary differences are the addition of official certification signatures, dates, and standard legislative formatting required for a bill to become law.
TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a draft introduction to a final enrolled version, adding certification signatures, dates, and footer links while retaining the original funding amount and purpose.
