This bill proposes to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 4-2-13, which will combine the offices of the Legislative Auditor and the State Auditor into a single office effective July 1, 2025. The bill outlines that all powers, duties, and responsibilities currently held by the Legislative Auditor will be transferred to the State Auditor's office.
The intent of this legislation is to streamline the auditing functions within the state government by consolidating these two offices, potentially improving efficiency and oversight. The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses on the establishment of the new combined office and the transfer of responsibilities.
