HB 4748 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to creating a digital wallet to collect and organize learning and employment records

HB 4748 creates a digital wallet within West Virginia's Secretary of State business portal, allowing residents to store and organize their learning records (like degrees), employment history, certifications, and professional licenses. Individuals must upload and verify their own records; the Secretary of State will provide the secure platform by January 1, 2027, and contractors handling the system must safeguard data and cannot sell or share it. The digital wallet’s contents are exempt from public records requests under West Virginia law, and users can request secure deletion of their information.
