Clarifying qualifications to be licensed to administer polygraphs

This bill clarifies the qualifications required to obtain a license as a polygraph examiner in West Virginia, directly affecting individuals and organizations that administer lie detector tests. It establishes specific requirements for licensure, including age, citizenship, criminal history checks, passing a competency exam, completing six months of internship training, and meeting education standards that do not mandate a college degree for Class I or II licenses. The legislation also outlines how the Commissioner of Labor will administer testing, issue annual licenses, collect fees, and propose rules governing training, equipment standards, and examination conditions.
