The proposed bill, known as the Constitutional Office Fleet Management Act, 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 introduces several new articles that define key terms related to fleet management, such as "Constitutional Officer," "State vehicle," and "Vehicle log." It also outlines the responsibilities of these offices in managing their vehicle fleets, including compliance with state vehicle use laws, maintaining vehicle logs, and submitting annual reports detailing fleet operations.

Additionally, the bill exempts the aforementioned constitutional offices from the existing Fleet Management Division regulations while still requiring them to adhere to the new guidelines set forth in this act. The legislation emphasizes the need for proper training for personnel operating state vehicles and establishes consequences for non-compliance. Overall, the bill seeks to streamline fleet management processes for these constitutional offices while ensuring accountability and adherence to specific operational standards.
