A BILL to amend the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, by adding a new section, designated §16-9G-3, relating to creating the Tobacco Cessation Initiative Program Special Revenue Account; and directing a fixed portion of money to fund the account from the Legislature.

of this code and upon fulfillment of the provisions of §11B-2-1
et seq.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of §11B-2-20 of this code to the contrary, on or before July 30, 2026, and each July 30 thereafter, the amount of $5 million from the interest and other return earned that may accrue on the moneys in the Revenue Shortfall Reserve Fund – Part B during the next preceding fiscal year shall be transferred to the Tobacco Cessation Initiative Program Special Revenue Account and expended solely for the purposes set forth in this article.
