Supplemental Appropriation for fiscal year ending June 30, 2026

SB 868 increases funding for payments to claimants who have filed claims against the State of West Virginia. It amends the existing budget allocation by raising the total amount from $864,750 to $2,314,750 (split as $1.1 million general revenue, $250,000 special revenue, and $964,750 state road funds) to cover a higher volume of claims. This adjustment directly affects individuals and entities seeking compensation for claims against the state, which have risen due to expedited payment processes established by prior legislation. The bill does not create new policies but adjusts existing fiscal provisions to address increased claim volumes.
