HEREAS
, The West Virginia Legislature is committed to
protecting the public through the establishment of professional and
occupational licensing boards and by periodically reviewing the
performance of the regulatory boards; and
W
HEREAS
, Various performance audits of the licensing boards
have alerted the Legislature to issues of policy which could be
developed to further enhance the protection of the public; and

issues related to cease and desist orders for the unlicensed
practice of a profession; establishing quorums and serving until
successors are appointed; term limitations; lapsed and expired
licenses; grace periods for license renewals; the issuance of
certificates of authorizations; final orders of dismissal; civil
and criminal penalties; requirements concerning website
development; and other issues for which disparity may exist among
the boards; therefore be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Joint Committee on Government and Finance is hereby
requested to authorize a study of the authority and structure of
professional regulatory boards; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Joint Committee on Government and

its findings, conclusions and recommendations, together with drafts
of any legislation necessary to effectuate its recommendations;
