Dedication

This website is devoutly dedicated to all of Larry's friends and associates, both early and late, who have influenced and mentored him. However, it also should be noted that, being who they are, a majority of them have been late most of the time.

2020 West Virginia Legislative News Report #7



With the West Virginia State Legislature scheduled to end "sine die" next Saturday night, the long hours and frenetic pressure are intensifying.
 Meanwhile, here are a few of the bills acted upon this past week:
 HB 3127, to allow home school, private, and parochial schools to participate in public school activities, passed the West Virginia House of Delegates, including my "yea" vote.
 My HB 4639,  a modest proposal to reduce West Virginia annual motor vehicle inspections from once a year to once every two years, caused an intense and even furious debate and failed passage by the West Virginia House of Delegates by a vote of 51 "nays" and 48 "yeas" (one Delegate was absent from voting). Eastern Panhandle Delegates voting "nay" were Delegates Barrett, Brown, and Doyle. Eastern Panhandle Delegates voting "yea" were Delegates Kump, Cowles, Espinosa, Householder, and Wilson.
 SB 96, prohibiting municipalities from limiting our 2nd Amendment rights, passed the House of Delegates Judiciary Committee, along with my "yea" vote. SB 96 now is pending passage by the West Virginia House of Delegates,
 My HB 4362, "Adri's and Owen's Law", passed unanimously by the West Virginia House of Delegates and now is pending further consideration by the West Virginia State Senate.  HB 4362 establishes penalties for the abuse of an incapacitated adult and for a non-verbal special needs child. Heartbroken by the awful circumstances that made it necessary for this legislation, my sponsorship simply was the right  thing to do. May God bless our less fortunate and all of us real good!
 Meanwhile, I continue to be a staunch supporter of our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, personal property rights, individual Liberty, and pro-life family values.
 Further information on legislative issues is available at the West Virginia Legislature's Office of Reference & Information at www.wvlegislature.gov or (304) 347-4836.
 My constituents also may visit www.LarryKump.us and www.LarryKump.com, and are encouraged to telephone me at my legislative office, (304) 340-3122. During session days, I always am in my legislative office (Room 476M) no later than 6:00 AM (and usually even earlier).
 May God bless you all real good!
