Casto 3264

Delegate Shott moved to amend the bill on page 10, section 7, line 52, immediately following the word “article.” by inserting the following two new sections:

Ҥ30-9-33. Mandatory Training in federal antitrust law and state action immunity.

It shall be required of the West Virginia Board of Accountancy, and their representatives from the Attorney General’s office, to obtain initial training on the subject of federal antitrust law and state action immunity by July 1, 2016, and thereafter on an annual basis. The purpose of the training is to provide those members with the knowledge to be able to identify the risks of any action that may be taken by the board that could be construed as possible antitrust violations.

§30-9-34. Indemnification.

In the event that a lawsuit is filed alleging violation of federal antitrust laws, the board may indemnify its board members and current and former employees for expenses reasonably incurred in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings to which they are or may become parties by reason of the performance of their official duties.”
