2020 West Virginia Legislative News Report #4

 As the originating chambers rush to finish voting on proposals (bills) which started from the House of Delegates and State Senate, and we now have passed the half-way mark of the legislative session, here is a brief summary of some of the action that you may have missed:

 I voted in favor of HB 4478, which would make any person convicted of human trafficking never to be eligible to hold a commercial driver's license in West Virginia. HB 4478 passed the House of Delegates Technology and Infrastructure Committee and now is pending further consideration by the House of Delegates Judiciary committee.

I sponsored for an voted for HB 4544, to make it illegal to distribute controlled substances within 200 feet of a public library. HB 4544 passed the House of Delegates Judiciary committee, and now is pending a vote on the floor of the House of Delegates.

My HB 4639 would reduce the required  West Virginia annual vehicle inspection from every year to only once every three years. HB 4639 was heard in the House of Delegates Technology and Infrastructure committee and now is awaiting a final committee vote.

I sponsored HB 4522, which reduces bureaucratic barriers to obtain or renew West Virginia driver's licenses, under the Federal REAL ID act. HB 4522 passed the House of Delegates committee on Technology and Infrastructure  and now is pending further consideration by the House of Delegates Judiciary committee.

Meanwhile, I continue to be a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment right to bear arms, personal property rights, individual liberty, and pro-life family values.
