Funding for the Virgin Islands Legislature
The law provides about $26.12 million from the General Fund to the Virgin Islands Legislature for October 1, 2026–September 30, 2027. It sets aside about $24.57 million for operating expenses and $5 for other services and charges. Funding includes $350,000 for central staff wage adjustments, $172,500 for annual leave payouts, and $200,000 for required observances and events.
