Making a supplementary appropriation to the Department of Homeland Security, Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority

HB 224 is a procedural bill that authorizes the West Virginia Legislature to release an unused portion of the state's budget to the Department of Homeland Security, Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Regional Jail and Correctional Facility Authority. This legislation specifically adds $1.7 million to the agency's existing funding for fiscal year 2025 to cover expenses related to its buildings. The bill directly affects the state's correctional facilities by ensuring they have the necessary financial resources to operate during the current fiscal year. It does not create new programs or change how the agency functions, but rather adjusts the financial allocation to match the available unspent funds.
