The proposed bill introduces the Constitutional Office Fleet Management Act, which aims to amend the Code of West Virginia by establishing a new framework for fleet management specifically for the constitutional offices of the Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, and Commissioner of Agriculture. The bill outlines definitions relevant to the act, including terms such as "Constitutional Officer," "State vehicle," and "Vehicle log." It emphasizes that these constitutional offices are exempt from the existing Fleet Management Division regulations but must adhere to the new guidelines set forth in this act.

Additionally, the bill mandates that these offices submit an annual report detailing their vehicle usage and expenditures to the Fleet Management Division. It also establishes requirements for personnel operating state vehicles, including valid driver's licenses and compliance with state vehicle use laws. The constitutional officers are granted the authority to create their own rules for vehicle operation, provided they align with the provisions of the law. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline fleet management for these offices while ensuring accountability and adherence to specific operational standards.
