To provide compensation to those who have been adversely affected by the actions of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeal’s Judicial Investigative Committee

HB 4830 establishes the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals Victim's Fund to compensate individuals harmed by actions or inactions of the Supreme Court's Judicial Investigative Committee or related divisions. The fund, administered by the Legislative Claims Commission, allows affected residents to apply for financial relief by detailing their harm, with decisions made by the fund's supervisor (subject to appeal). Claims can be filed retroactively for up to 10 years from July 1, 2026, covering cases where West Virginia residents suffered negative impacts due to court committee actions. This bill creates a formal process for compensation but does not specify eligibility criteria or funding sources beyond the fund's establishment.
