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 purpose of the proposed bill is to create a new Small Business and Minority Populations Economic and Workforce Development Taskforce of which the Executive Director of the West Virginia Economic Development Authority, or his or her designee, would serve as a member. This new taskforce would be responsible for assisting the West Virginia Economic Development Authority in developing and implementing a program to promote small business growth and address employment, labor force participation and economic development challenges of low income and minority population in the state. No estimates of additional revenues can be made at this time. It is anticipated that additional administrative costs would be incurred by the West Virginia Economic Development Authority in implementing any such new program envisioned by the bill, including the addition of staff, as well as additional administrative costs incurred to reimburse taskforce members for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties, including reimbursement for travel expenses to attend meetings.
