State Auditor rule relating to Local Government Purchasing Card Program

Senate Bill 374 authorizes the West Virginia State Auditor to implement and enforce the existing "Local Government Purchasing Card Program" rule (155 CSR 06), which was filed in the State Register on March 22, 2024. This rule governs how local governments use purchasing cards for small-scale purchases, setting requirements for approval, spending limits, and reporting. The bill directly affects all local governments in West Virginia that operate purchasing card programs, ensuring they follow standardized procedures. It does not create new policy but formally authorizes the State Auditor’s previously filed rule to become effective.
