(Originating in the Committee on Government Organization;
March 5, 2010)
Requesting that the Joint Committee on Government and Finance
authorize a study of the advisability and feasibility of the
creation of an administrative unit of state government to
assist professional licensing boards.
Whereas, Professional licensure boards are created to protect
the public; and
Whereas, Other states have created offices or divisions of
state government to provide administrative and other assistance to
professional licensing boards; and
Whereas, The administration of certain boards by one central
office could decrease professional and occupational license fees
and provide a more efficient structure for the boards' functions;
and
Whereas, A central office could provide the professional
licensing boards with coordination of clerical, legal and other
assistance; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Legislature hereby requests the Joint Committee on Government and Finance to authorize a study of advisability and
feasibility of the creation of a umbrella board to administer
professional licensure boards; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the Regular Session of the Legislature, 2011, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislative 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.
