Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The goal of this program is to attract honorably separating and retiring service members to relocate in West Virginia. If enacted, this legislation would increase the expenses for the Department of Veterans Assistance. Specifically, the Department's travel costs would increase to allow for staff to participate in the VA sponsored Transition Assistance Program events. Additional increased costs would include printed material and marketing. Though this legislation would not have a fiscal impact on our Department's revenues, other partnering agencies referenced in the bill should be consulted on the fiscal impact this legislation could have on their agency.
