Legislative interim meetings commenced today, Sunday, June 22nd, at the State Capitol in Charleston, WV. These joint meetings will continue through Tuesday, June 24th.
The Finance Subcommittee A, shown here, took up the issue of West Virginia’s many fairs and festivals – and how state money is distributed and allocated for these events. A representative from the Grant Office within the Division of Culture and History spoke briefly about the compliance requirements in State Code 12-4-14, which governs Public Moneys and Securities, regarding required audits for recipients receiving $50,000 or more in state funds. The representative stated that grant recipients must be registered with the state Purchasing Division and with the Department of Administration before becoming eligible to receive funds.
Members plan to continue studying this issue among the other assigned study topics in the coming months.
