Relating to authorizing the State Auditor to promulgate a legislative rule relating to standards for requisitions for payment issued by the state officers on the Auditor.
HB 4280 authorizes the West Virginia State Auditor to use a specific rule (155 CSR 01) that sets standards for how state officers must request payments from the Auditor. This bill directly affects state officers who issue payment requisitions, ensuring they follow consistent, standardized procedures when requesting funds. The rule, already filed and modified to address legislative committee feedback, establishes clear requirements for these payment requests. As a procedural bill confirming existing rule authority, it does not create new policy but formalizes current administrative standards.
