A BILL to amend and reenact §31E-8-802 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to requiring directors and members of the boards of directors of nonprofit corporations who receive money from a state agency to participate in at least three hours of training; responsibility of state agencies for training; and reimbursement for reasonable expenses.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That §31E-8-802 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 8. DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
PART 1. BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

§31E-8-802. Qualifications of directors.
(a) The articles of incorporation or bylaws may prescribe qualifications for directors. A director need not be a resident of this state or a member of the corporation unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws require he or she to be a member.
(b) The directors and board of directors may be designated by other names as may be provided in the articles of incorporation or bylaws.
(c) Any director or member of the board of directors of a nonprofit corporation as provided in this chapter that receives any money from a state agency of West Virginia or receives funding by the federal government where the money is disbursed through an agency of the state must complete at least three hours of training in the administration and operation of nonprofit corporations. It is the responsibility of the state agency that provides funding for the nonprofit corporation or the state agency from which federal money is disbursed to the nonprofit corporation to establish, develop and provide the required training. The training is to be provided by the particular state agency to a director or member of the board of directors of a nonprofit corporation within the first six months of his or her appointment to the position. The director or members of the board of directors who are required to participate in this training are entitled to reimbursement from the nonprofit corporation for all reasonable expenses and travel incurred in participating in the training.




NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to require all directors and members of the board of directors of nonprofit corporations that receive money from state agencies or that receive federal money through state agencies to participate in three hours of training.
