This issue provides a review of legislation critical to WVU, Higher Education Day at the Capitol, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day at the Capitol, the budget, legislative activity and vacancies and appointments. Protecting WVU Tech A bipartisan group of House and Senate members have introduced two bills to ensure the continued viability of WVU Tech. HB 4310 (sponsored by Delegates John O’Neal, Bill Anderson, Lynne Arvon, Mick Bates, Paul Espinosa, Barbara Fleischauer, Cindy Frich, Brian Kurcaba, Tim Miley, Eric Nelson and Joe Statler) was introduced last Wednesday. A companion bill, SB 386 (sponsored by Senators Jeff Mullins, Bob Beach, Craig Blair, Ed Gaunch, Mike Hall, Jeff Kessler, Roman Prezioso, Charles Trump and Bob Williams), was introduced Monday. WVU Extension Service SB 403, Relating to Cooperative Extension Workers, was introduced Wednesday by Senators Kent Leonhardt and Bob Williams. This bill seeks to amend §19-8-1 of the West Virginia Code. Current code was written in the 1960s, and this legislation updates code to reflect the current organizational function of WVU Extension Service agents. Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day at the Capitol Last Wednesday, the Legislature welcomed participants of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Day to the Capitol. The event, sponsored by TechConnect West Virginia and the TransTech Research and Business Development program, is a showcase of groups and companies that are working to advance innovation and entrepreneurship across West Virginia.

  • For Immediate Release Citizen Group Endorsements Cover All Three WV
    For Immediate Release Citizen Group Endorsements Cover All Three WV Political Parties For more information contact: Norm Steenstra, Executive Director 304-346-5891 (Charleston WV), The WV Citizen Action Group (www.wvcag.org), a state-wide consumer protection and government watchdog organization, released its endorsements for the November elections this week. Its mostly Democratic list also included candidates of the Republican and Mountain Parties. “We are a values and issues based organization that looks at the individual candidate - not his or her party affiliation,” commented Director Norm Steenstra. “Candidates on our list are the ones we feel will do the best job representing the interests of citizens over special interests and of promoting a more open democratic state government,” Steenstra added. The consumer group has weighed in on several high-profile races of both state and national significance. In the Congressional race between Capito and Humphries it sides with the Democratic candidate. “Humphreys’ positions on fundamental issues such as workers’ rights, environment, and fair taxation won our support,” commented Steenstra. “The defeat of Shelly Moore Capito has national implications and should be the priority of every West Virginian who cares about the environment, working people, and seniors.” In the open 10th District State Senate seat (Monroe, Greenbrier, Summers, and parts of Mercer & Fayette) Citizen Action has endorsed Delegate Mary Pearl Compton who has served 14 years in the House of Delegates. “Compton is a no-nonsense champion of the ‘little guy’ that will stand up to the good ol’ boys in the Senate to promote legislation benefiting the average West Virginian,” said Steenstra.

    UNDER the DOME MARCH 16, 2016 Welcome Under the Dome is an update on actions and activities of the West Virginia Legislature, provided during the regular legislative session and interim sessions for West Virginia University faculty and staff by WVU’s Office of State, Corporate and Local Relations. This issue provides a review of the 2016 legislative session, the key accomplishments critical to WVU, the high-profile bills passed and defeated, and the budget proposals unveiled by the governor and legislature. 2016 Session – An Overview The second session of the 82nd Legislature concluded at midnight on March 12. Governor Tomblin extended the 60-day regular session through Tuesday, March 15, in order to deal with the budget. There was no agreement between the two chambers on the final budget. Therefore, it is expected that the legislature will reconvene in late spring to further consider the budget before the new fiscal year begins on July 1, 2016. A balanced budget must be signed by the governor before that date. A total of 1,896 bills were introduced this session; 276 bills completed legislative action, meaning they passed both chambers. Of that number, 139 originated in the House and 137 originated in the Senate. The full list of completed legislation can be found on the Legislature’s “Bill Status” page at legis.state.wv.us/ Bill_Status/Bills_all_pass.cfm?year=2016&sessiontype=RS&btype=bill. A total of 169 resolutions were adopted this session. To see a full list of the resolutions approved, visit legis. state.wv.us/Bill_Status/res_all_pass.cfm?year=2016&sessiontype=rs&btype=res.
