SCR 3 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Requesting Joint Committee on Government and Finance study funding for Flood Resiliency Fund

This concurrent resolution (SCR 3) requests the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to study how to fund West Virginia's Flood Resiliency Trust Fund. The committee must examine potential funding sources, including state revenue streams (like severance taxes), federal matching programs, lessons from other states, required funding levels, and using excess money from the Income Tax Reserve Fund. The study aims to develop a sustainable strategy to support the fund's goals, such as improving flood data, protecting infrastructure, and advancing risk reduction. The committee must report findings by January 1, 2027, to inform future legislation. This resolution does not allocate funds but directs a study to address current gaps in the fund's long-term financing.
