(By Delegates Prezioso, Gallagher, Staton, Douglas,

(Originating in the House Committee on the Judiciary)
[February 17, 1995]

A BILL to repeal sections twelve, thirteen and fourteen, article four, chapter sixty-two of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, all relating to the requirement that the clerk of the circuit court annually prepare a list of fines imposed in criminal matters for the state auditor; penalty for failure to prepare and transmit such report to the auditor; and the use of the list by the auditor.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
ARTICLE 4. RECOVERY OF FINES IN CRIMINAL CASES.

§1. Repeal of sections relating to preparing of list of fines

by circuit clerk for auditor; penalty for failure to prepare and transmit such report; use of list by auditor.

Sections twelve, thirteen and fourteen, article four, chapter sixty-two of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, are hereby repealed.

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to repeal sections twelve, thirteen and fourteen of article four, chapter sixty-two of the code of West Virginia inasmuch as the requirement for preparation of a list of fines for the auditor is now obsolete and is not used by the auditor and constitutes an unnecessary burden and cost for counties.
