Senate Bill 228

By Senator Baldwin

[Introduced February 11, 2021; referred
to the Committee on Finance]

A BILL making a supplementary appropriation by adding a new item of appropriation from the balance of moneys remaining as an unappropriated balance in the State Fund, State Excess Lottery Revenue Fund, to the Department of Veterans’ Assistance—Veterans Home Fund, fiscal year 2021, organization 0618, by supplementing and amending the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

Whereas, The Governor submitted the Executive Budget Document to the Legislature on January 8, 2020, which included a statement of the State Excess Lottery Fund setting forth therein the unappropriated cash balance as of July 1, 2020, and further included the estimate of revenues for the fiscal year 2021, less regular appropriations for fiscal year 2021; and

Whereas, It appears from the Governor’s statement of the State Excess Lottery Revenue Fund, there now remains an unappropriated balance in the State Treasury which is available for appropriation during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021; therefore

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the total appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2021, be supplemented and amended by adding a new item of appropriation as follows:

title II. Appropriations.
