Bill Summary · SB 821

Legislative bill overview

SB 821 is a supplemental appropriation bill that directs additional funding to West Virginia's Department of Administration, specifically to fund 2367. The bill was sponsored by Senator Mike Woelfel and has completed the legislative process, receiving gubernatorial approval on March 19, 2026.

Why is this important

Supplemental appropriations provide emergency or additional funding beyond the regular budget when agencies face unexpected needs or cost overruns. This funding directly impacts the Department of Administration's ability to operate state government functions, which could affect everything from building maintenance to personnel services depending on what fund 2367 covers.

Potential points of contention

  • Lack of transparency: The bill's text does not specify the dollar amount being appropriated or the specific purpose of fund 2367, making public accountability difficult
  • Budget process concerns: Supplemental appropriations can circumvent the normal budgeting process, raising questions about fiscal planning and whether the need was foreseeable
  • Fund designation unclear: Without knowing what fund 2367 represents, legislators and the public cannot assess whether this is a legitimate operational need or potentially wasteful spending
