The bill amends the Code of West Virginia by removing references to the Information Services and Communications Division from the Department of Administration. This change is part of a broader effort to streamline the structure of the department, which continues to include divisions such as Aviation, Finance, Fleet Management, General Services, Personnel, and Purchasing, all headed by directors appointed by the secretary of the department.
The legislation reaffirms the role of the secretary of the Department of Administration as the chief executive officer, appointed by the Governor with Senate consent, and serving at the Governor's pleasure. The bill also maintains the provision for the department to receive federal funds and specifies the annual compensation of the secretary as outlined in existing law. The changes will take effect 90 days after passage, on July 8, 2025.
