To whom is the initial appeal of a decision made by the WVBFSE directed?

The initial appeal of a decision made by the West Virginia Board of Funeral Service Examiners (WVBFSE) is directed to the County Circuit Clerk. This process is significant as it ensures that decisions made by the Board can be contested through the judicial system, allowing for a review in a formal legal setting. The County Circuit Clerk serves as the administrative body that receives the appeal and processes the necessary documentation to elevate the matter appropriately in the court system.

This mechanism ensures that individuals or entities affected by the decisions of the WVBFSE have a structured means to seek recourse or challenge those decisions within the framework of West Virginia's legal system. By directing appeals to the County Circuit Clerk, the process helps maintain an organized and official procedure for legal recourse regarding professional governance in the funeral service industry.
