Regarding continuing education requirements and compensation of Guardians Ad Litem

This bill (HB 2195) amends West Virginia law regarding compensation for **panel attorneys** in public defender services (not Guardians Ad Litem, as the title incorrectly states). It establishes clear procedures for attorneys to submit time and expense records, with vouchers due within 90 business days. Key provisions require Public Defender Services to process approved payments within 45 days, provide detailed rejection reasons within 30 days, and allow attorneys to appeal denials through court review after internal dispute resolution. The bill focuses on streamlining payment processes and dispute resolution for public defender panel attorneys.
