Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
Summarize in a clear and concise manner what impact this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The bill purports to have the West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Institute establish a training program for all prosecutors that must be attended prior to that prosecuting attorney being able to perform his or her duties and adds a statutory mandate that all new prosecutors must attend the program before beginning to perform their duties.
The West Virginia Prosecuting Attorneys Institute has been offering such a program to "newly elected" Prosecuting Attorneys every election cycle since its inception (the first was offered about 30 days after the 1996 general election and this is generally the time slot every four years). Therefore, there would be no cost associated with generating the content for this training.
Additionally, pursuant to West Virginia Code §7-4-6(d)(2) the Institute is already charged with "establishment and implementation of general and specialized training programs for prosecuting attorneys, their staffs". Therefore, offering the training contemplated by this bill doesn't require an increase state funding levels in excess of that currently, statutorily, required.
The cost associated with the attendance by a new prosecutor is a county/personal cost and not attributable to the State.
