As I write this column, early on Friday morning, there still are two full days left for our 2020 legislative session, which will end in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
Here's some what happened during this past week:
SB 96, prohibiting municipalities from restricting our 2nd Amendment rights, has passed the West Virginia House of Delegates, and I voted vigorously in favor of SB 96. It now goes on for the Governor's signature.
SB 562, which expunges the records of people found "not guilty" or "dismissed" for crimes, passed the House of Delegates. I voted in favor of SB 562.
West Virginia House of Delegates Finance Committee Chairman Eric L. Householder has done a masterful job on the proposed $4.5 billion budget for the State of West Virginia. The House of Delegates passed this budget this week, but it now must be negotiated with the different State Senate version of the budget.
Still up in the air, for further discussion with the West Virginia State Senate, is the legislation for a "Bill of Rights" for foster children and their caregivers. The House of Delegates budget proposal includes much more funding than the State Senate budget proposal.
Also still pending a final vote by the House of Delegates is the proposed new "Intermediate" court, which would provide another level of judicial review after local court hearings.
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.

May God bless you all real good!
