Creating WV Officials Training Program Act

The West Virginia Officials Training Program Act creates a voluntary training program for county commissioners, municipal officials, and members of boards/commissions (like planning or parks boards) who manage public funds and make governance decisions. Administered by the State Auditor, it establishes a tiered certification system with role-specific courses covering fiscal oversight, compliance, and emergency response, including a dedicated track for school board members. The program aims to improve local governance by providing structured, role-appropriate training, with the State Auditor overseeing curriculum development and annual reporting.
