A BILL supplementing, amending, reducing and transferring between items of the existing appropriations from the state road fund to the department of transportation, division of highways, account no. fund 9017, fiscal year 1998, organization 0803, as originally appropriated by chapter five, acts of the Legislature, regular session, one thousand nine hundred ninety-seven, known as the budget bill.

Whereas, The governor submitted to the Legislature the executive budget document, dated January 14, 1998, which included the statement of the state road fund setting forth therein the cash balances and investments as of July 1, 1997, and further included the estimate of revenues for the fiscal year 1997-98, less net appropriation balances forwarded and regular appropriations for fiscal year 1997-98.
Whereas, It thus appears from the governor's executive budget document there now remains an unappropriated balance in the state treasury which is available for appropriation during the fiscal year ending the thirtieth day of June, one thousand nine hundred ninety-eight; therefore
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
