Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


This bill establishes the West Virginia Lake Development Study Commission. While the bill states that actual and necessary travel expenses for members of the task force shall be paid by the member's employing agency, it goes on to state that all other expenses incurred by the task force shall be paid by the Development Office. We anticipate that these expenses could include hospitality including both meeting space and food as well as Attorney General's fees since the bill specifically states that upon request of the commission, the Attorney General of the state shall render legal research and analysis.
