To eliminate the offices of Treasurer and Auditor, replacing their duties and responsibilities under a new Office of Comptroller.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to replace West Virginia's separate Treasurer and Auditor offices with a single Comptroller position. It would amend the state constitution to remove references to "Treasurer" and "Auditor" and substitute "Comptroller" in all relevant sections, including those governing executive offices and the school fund board. The change would affect state government structure by consolidating financial oversight duties into one elected office. The amendment must be approved by voters in the 2026 general election to take effect.
