SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 56
(By Senators Bowman and Rowe)
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the
current administrative structure of the Division of Personnel
and its policies, procedures and functions to determine
whether it can effectively meet the future needs of state
government.
Whereas, The current structure of the Division of Personnel is
burdened by archaic and unnecessary rules, regulations and
policies; and
Whereas, A personnel system for any organization requires
continuous improvement, innovation and effective use of modern
technology to maintain the highest level of performance and to
ensure qualified employees are hired for state government jobs; and
Whereas, It is essential that the state's personnel system be
organized, structured and made ready to meet the demands for
recruiting, training and maintaining highly trained, skilled and
effective employees for state government; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to study the current administrative structure of the
Division of Personnel and its policies, procedures and functions to
determine whether it can effectively meet the future needs of state government; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2005, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this
study, to prepare a report and to draft necessary legislation be
paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on
Government and Finance.
