Supplementing and amending appropriations to Public Employees Insurance Agency
This bill directs the West Virginia State Treasurer to transfer $87 million from the state's unspent surplus funds to the Public Employees Insurance Agency for fiscal year 2025. The money is intended to help the agency cover the portion of health insurance premiums that employers and employees must pay, effectively subsidizing these costs. The funds can be moved to a special revenue account and will not count toward the total premium costs used to calculate how much each party must contribute. This action ensures the agency has the necessary resources to manage benefit changes without increasing the required share paid by workers and their employers.
