SB 2027: Relating to public charter school application for funding

This bill allows public charter schools in West Virginia to apply directly to the School Building Authority for funding to cover specific construction and improvement costs. Under the new provision, the authority would have the power to approve funding amounts it deems appropriate from its available state and federal funds. The change removes previous barriers that prevented charter schools from accessing these resources, enabling them to participate in the same facility improvement process as traditional school districts.

SB 2042: Transferring powers and duties of Municipal Bond Commission

This bill reorganizes the governance of the Municipal Bond Commission in West Virginia by transferring its oversight to the State Treasurer, who will serve as the commission's chairman. Under the new rules, the State Treasurer would appoint the commission's chief administrative officer, provide necessary office space and staff, and set a higher daily pay rate for members while allowing reimbursement for travel expenses. The legislation also mandates that the commission issue quarterly financial reports and undergo an annual audit, while permitting members to attend meetings via video conference and enter into contracts with financial institutions. Additionally, the bill removes outdated language from existing state laws and makes technical corrections to improve clarity within the relevant code sections.
