The House of Delegates passed a bill that would aide in flood relief for residents still suffering from June flooding in the state.
The House convened for the 2016 Second Extraordinary Session on Sunday, immediately passing House Bill 201. The bill would appropriate about $85 million for flood relief efforts. The money would be moved from the State Fund, General Revenue into the Civil Contingent Fund “to pay obligations and ongoing expenses incurred by the state,” according to the Governor’s proclamation.
The House adjourned until noon on Monday.
