Supplementing and amending appropriations Department of Agriculture

This bill authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to receive an additional $10 million from the state's general revenue surplus for fiscal year 2025. The funds are designated for a specific drought relief initiative, expanding the agency's budget beyond the original allocation provided in the executive budget. By adding this new line item to the state appropriations, the legislation ensures that money set aside for emergency agricultural support can be accessed during the current fiscal year. The measure is a straightforward financial adjustment that does not alter existing laws or change the department's operational structure.
