More funding for West Virginia parks

Beginning March 14, 2026, West Virginia adds $11.525 million to its State Parks and Recreation Endowment Fund. This includes $1 million for equipment, $4.025 million for current expenses, and $6.5 million for other assets. The money comes from unappropriated Treasury balances for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The law does not provide ongoing annual funding beyond that fiscal year. It supports parks and recreation but does not provide direct payments to households.
