The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to enhance the composition and nomination process of the Property Valuation Training and Procedures Commission. It mandates that one of the five citizen members of the commission must have a demonstrated background in or knowledge of agriculture, effective upon the first expiration of a citizen member's term after the bill's passage. Additionally, it clarifies the nomination process for assessors and county commissioners, allowing the West Virginia Assessors Association and the County Commissioner's Association of West Virginia to nominate candidates while ensuring political diversity among the appointees.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that all members, except the Tax Commissioner, will serve four-year terms and outlines the procedure for filling vacancies. It also establishes that meetings must occur at least twice a year and provides for compensation and reimbursement of expenses for citizen members. The commission will be funded through a legislative appropriation to the State Tax Commissioner, ensuring that the commission can effectively carry out its duties related to property valuation training and procedures.
