SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 14
(By Senators Wiedebusch and Macnaughtan)
Calling upon all agencies, boards, commissions and departments
of the state of West Virginia to provide fiscal information,
including a full accounting of all moneys, locations and
sources of said moneys and their designated purposes, to the
chairman of the Senate finance committee by the twenty-fifth
day of March, one thousand nine hundred ninety-three.
Whereas, Over the past twenty-five years, in order to serve
the residents of West Virginia, the size of the state government
has increased in order to provide more governmental services to
state residents; and
Whereas, The necessity of complying with federally mandated
requirements that Congress and federal agencies impose on the
states has substantially increased the size and complexity of
state government in recent years; and
Whereas, The executive and legislative branches of the state
government have an obligation to be informed regarding the assets
available to provide services to the residents of West Virginia;
and
Whereas, The Senate is desirous in obtaining information of
this nature from aforementioned agencies, boards, commissions and
departments, without the implementation of legislation, if
possible; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate formally requests that the directors of the
agencies, boards, commissions and departments of the state of
West Virginia are to submit to the chairman of the Finance
committee, by the twenty-fifth day of March, one thousand nine
hundred ninety-three, an accounting of all moneys, amounts of
same, location and source of said moneys, and their designated or
anticipated purpose. Upon receipt of the information requested,
the finance committee shall distribute copies of the information
to each member of the Senate. Further, a list of all of those
agencies, boards, commissions and departments of the state of
West Virginia who failed to comply with the provisions of this
resolution shall be compiled and distributed to each member of
the Senate; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to
forward a copy of this resolution to the directors of all
agencies, boards, commissions and departments of the state of
West Virginia.
