This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the State Auditor to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the standards for requisitions for payment issued by state officers on the Auditor. The legislative rule in question was initially filed in the State Register on February 7, 2025, and was subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 17, 2025.

The primary purpose of this bill is to formalize the authority of the State Auditor to establish these standards, ensuring that there is a clear framework for how payment requisitions are handled by state officers. This legislative action aims to enhance the accountability and efficiency of financial transactions within the state government.
