West Virginia House Bill 4292 (Prior Session Legislation)

---

Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 6-0)
Status: Engrossed on February 24 2010 - 50% progression, died in committee
Action: 2010-02-25 - To Judiciary
Pending: Senate Judiciary Committee

This bill shall require any person who begins serving as a magistrate after the effective date of this legislation, to possess an associate degree from an accredited college, or have two years of experience as a magistrate. All magistrates are required to attend an annual training conference by the Administrator of the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. In addition, the outdated distinction between those magistrates who serve 5,000 or less in population and those who serve more than 5,000 is stricken because it is antiquated, as all magistrates now work under the same rules.

Relating to requirements to serve as a magistrate
