SB 348 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Municipal Pensions Oversight Board rule relating to exempt purchasing

This bill authorizes the Municipal Pensions Oversight Board to formally adopt and enforce a legislative rule about "exempt purchasing" for municipal pension funds. It specifically references an existing rule filed in the State Register on October 9, 2024 (211 CSR 02), making it official under state law. The rule directly affects municipal pension boards and local governments managing pension funds, clarifying procedures for certain purchases they can make without competitive bidding. This is a procedural bill that formalizes an existing rule, not a new policy change.
