A BILL to amend and reenact §30-1-10 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to licensing board accounts; discontinuing the requirement for the State Treasurer to transfer board funds into the general revenue in certain circumstances; and updating language to comport with current method of electronic receipt of revenue.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
 That §30-1-10 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted to read as follows:
ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL STATE BOARDS OF EXAMINATION OR REGISTRATION REFERRED TO IN CHAPTER.
§30-1-10. Disposition of money fines; legislative audit.
  (a) The secretary of every board referred to in this chapter shall receive and account for all money which it derives pursuant to the provisions of this chapter which are applicable to it. With the exception of money received as fines, each board shall pay all money which is collected into a separate special fund of the State Treasury which has been established for each board. This money shall be used exclusively by each board for purposes of administration and enforcement of its duties pursuant to this chapter. Any money received as fines shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund of the State Treasury. When the special fund of any board accumulates to an amount which exceeds twice the annual budget of the board or $10,000, whichever is greater, the excess amount shall be transferred by the State Treasurer to the state General Revenue Fund.
  (b) Every licensing board which is authorized by the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to audit by the office of the Legislative Auditor.


  NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to discontinue the requirement for the State Treasurer to transfer licensing board funds into the general revenue when the account balance meets certain threshholds.
