HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION 96 (By Delegates Howell, C. Martin, Hott, Hamrick, Cadle, Sypolt, Wilson, Swartzmiller, Hansen, J. Jeffries and Worrell) [Introduced February 17, 2020] Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the hiring exemptions of the West Virginia State Tax Department and the West Virginia Division of Highways--Department of Transportation. Whereas, The State Tax Department and the Division of Highways are exempt from the rules and hiring procedures of the West Virginia Division of Personnel; and Whereas, It is time to review the timelines for hiring for the Tax Department and Division of Highways to determine how they compare with the standard personnel timelines of the Division of Personnel, whether it makes sense to continue these hiring exemptions, whether the rules are substantially the same for the Tax Department and Division of Highways as those of the Division of Personnel, and if they differ substantially from those of the Division of Personnel; therefore, be it Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia: That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance study the hiring exemptions of the West Virginia State Tax Department and the West Virginia Division of Highways--Department of Transportation; and be it Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance report to the regular session of the Legislature, 2021, on its findings, conclusions, and recommendations, together with drafts of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations, and be it Further Resolved, That the expenses necessary to conduct this study, to prepare a report, and to draft necessary legislation be paid from legislative appropriations to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance.
