Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This Fiscal Note only concerns cost related to the one-time transfer of $2 million from the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund (Fund 1342). W.V. Code §36-8-13 directs the Unclaimed Property Fund, after expenses, to transfer remaining monies in the fund to the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund. From monies in the Unclaimed Property Trust Fund, $1 million each year shall be transferred to the Prepaid Tuition Trust Escrow Fund, then the remaining fund balance to the General Revenue fund. This legislation would transfer one-time $2 million that would normally be available to the General Revenue Fund to the Supreme Court of Appeals Public Campaign Financing Fund.
