The objectives of this review are to assess the Board’s compliance with the general provisions of Chapter 30, Article 1, of the West Virginia Code and the Board’s enabling statute; determine if the Board's rules and regulations protect the public; and, determine if the Board’s office location is generally accessible to state citizens with special needs as it relates to selected guidelines from the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The second objective considers consolidation of smaller West Virginia Chapter 30 boards previously cited by PERD in the past for lack of segregation of duties into a multi-professional and occupation board. Finally, it is also the objective of the Legislative Auditor to assess the Board’s website for user-friendliness and transparency. PERD finds that the Board complies with most general provisions of Chapter 30 and that many other small boards could benefit from improved operations and efficiency through the development of a multi-professional agency. The Board's website needs improvements to enhance user-friendliness and transparency.
