[Introduced February 15, 1995; referred to the Committee

____________
A BILL finding and declaring certain claims against the state and
its agencies to be moral obligations of the state and
directing the auditor to issue warrants for the payment
thereof.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
CLAIMS AGAINST THE STATE.
§1.Finding and declaring certain claims against the board of
probation and parole; department of education; division of
corrections; division of culture and history; division of
human services; division of labor; geological and economical
survey; regional jail and correctional facility authority;
and women's commission to be moral obligations of the state
and directing payments thereof.
The Legislature has heretofore made findings of fact that
the state has received the benefit of the commodities received
and/or services rendered by certain claimants herein and has considered these claims against the state, and agencies thereof,
which have arisen due to over expenditures of the departmental
appropriations by officers of such state spending units, such
claims having been previously considered by the court of claims
which also found that the state has received the benefit of the
commodities received and/or services rendered by the claimants,
but were denied by the court of claims on the purely statutory
grounds that to allow such claims would be condoning illegal acts
contrary to the laws of the state. The Legislature pursuant to
its findings of fact and also by the adoption of the findings of
fact by the court of claims as its own, and, while not condoning
such illegal acts, hereby declares it to be the moral obligation
of the state to pay these claims in the amounts specified below,
and directs the auditor to issue warrants upon receipt of
properly executed requisitions supported by itemized invoices,
statements or other satisfactory documents as required by section
ten, article three, chapter twelve of the code of West Virginia,
one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, for the
payments thereof out of any fund appropriated and available for
