2,981,132.08 from the Attorney General- Consumer Protection Recovery Fund, fund 1509, fiscal year 2026, organization 1500, and making a supplementary appropriation of public moneys out of the Treasury from the balance of moneys remaining as an unappropriated surplus balance in the State Fund, General Revenue, to the Department of Health, fund 0407, fiscal year 2026, organization 0506, by supplementing and amending the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
WHEREAS, The Legislature finds that the account balance in the Attorney General – Consumer Protection Recovery Fund, fund 1509, fiscal year 2026, organization 1500, exceeds that which is necessary for the purposes for which the account was established; and
WHEREAS, The Governor submitted the Executive Budget Document to the Legislature on January 14, 2026 containing a statement of the State Fund, General Revenue, setting forth therein the cash balance as of July 1, 2025, and further included the estimate of revenue for the fiscal year 2026, less net appropriation balances forwarded and regular and surplus appropriation for the fiscal year 2026, and further included recommended supplemental appropriations from the balance of the State Fund, General Revenue; and
WHEREAS, It appears from the Governor’s Statement of the State Fund, General Revenue, there now remains an unappropriated surplus balance in the Treasury which is available for appropriation during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026; therefore

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the balance of the funds available for expenditure in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, Attorney General – Consumer Protection Recovery Fund, fund 1509, fiscal year 2026, organization 1500 be decreased by expiring the amount of $

2,981,132.08 to the unappropriated surplus balance of the State Fund, General Revenue, to be available for appropriation during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
And, That the total appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026, to fund 0407, fiscal year 2026, organization 0506, be supplemented and amended by adding a new item of appropriation as follows:
