[Originating in the Committee on Government Organization;
April 3, 2009]
Requesting the Joint Committee on Government and Finance authorize
a study of the feasibility of adopting a uniform lien filing
system.
WHEREAS,
The West Virginia Code recognizes numerous types of
liens with various requirements, and prescribes formats for liens
that vary according to the type of the lien; and
WHEREAS, Clerks of the County Commissions must maintain liens
in various indices according to statute; and
WHEREAS, Creating a uniform lien filing system would ease the
burden on the Clerks and make record-keeping and searches more
efficient and manageable; and
WHEREAS, Creating a single uniform lien filing form that
requires certain information would provide for simpler lien filing,
and eliminate hurdles that prevent citizens from filing and
perfecting a lien; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to authorize a study of the feasibility of adopting a
uniform lien filing system
; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and
Finance report to the Regular Session of the Legislature, 2010, on
its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Legislative 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.
