Relating to the membership of the Hope Scholarship Board

HB 3195 amends West Virginia law to redefine the composition of the Hope Scholarship Board, which oversees the state's education scholarship program. The bill specifies a nine-member board including three state officials (Treasurer, Auditor, Attorney General), three education officials (Superintendent, Higher Education Chancellor, Minority Affairs Director), and three parent members appointed by the Governor. These parent members must be West Virginia residents with children using or intending to use the scholarship, reside in geographically diverse areas, and represent diverse educational options like microschools. The changes focus solely on board governance structure, not scholarship eligibility or funding.
