2019 CAWV LEGISLATIVE NETWORK the 2019 Legislative Session January 21, 2019 TO: CAWV MEMBERS RE: 2019 CAWV LEGISLATIVE NETWORK The 2019 legislative session began January 9. There are 37 new House members and seven new senators. The CAWV works tirelessly to ensure that contractors are given a fair hearing at the state house. The impact of our voice is a result of the participation of our members. When we talk to a delegate or senator, they know we are speaking for nearly 20,000 of West Virginia’s construction professionals. Now, more than ever, we must develop a strong legislative network in order to affect crucial issues as they arise this session. The CAWV Legislative Committee needs to know what legislators you know or are willing to contact as issues arise. The committee will provide you with background on the issue and talking points. Members are asked to please respond to this email by replying to [email protected] to indicate which legislators you are willing to contact when an issue arises affecting the construction industry. Sometimes it is best to contact legislators when they are home for the weekend. Below is a list of the 2019 Legislature. New members are noted in red.

    IN THIS ISSUE LB 2021–06 March 22, 2021 Call Senators Today CONTACT SENATORS TODAY TO SUPPORT S.B. 673, on S.B. 673 CONSTRUCTION VENUE BILL CAWV members are asked to call Senators TODAY, MARCH 22, to Today Last Day for encourage them to vote YES on S.B. 673. The bill is on the agenda for Senate Judiciary Committee at 3:00 p.m. today. Bill Introduction The bill was developed by the CAWV Legislative Committee to mandate that West Virginia is the location where construction must be resolved if a List of Bills Introduced Last Week party to a West Virginia construction contract breaches that contract. Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania have legislation that voids any language in a boilerplate contract that forces in state firms to resolve any disputes in the state where the project owner resides, thereby requiring the contractor or subcontractor to hire out of state counsel. Below is a fact sheet on S.B. 673 detailing the purpose of the bill and why legislators should vote YES. Members can relate instances where they have either had to resolve a dispute in another state or decided not to take action due to the cost involved with litigating the claim in another state. At the end of this week’s Legislative Bulletin is a list of Senators and their contact information. PLEASE TRY TO CONTACT SENATORS BY 1:00 P.M. TODAY, MARCH 22. S.B. 673: LOCATION OF CIVIL ACTIONS FOR A CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN WEST VIRGINIA FACT SHEET ◼ Many construction professionals are used to seeing venue and choice-of-law provisions in construction contracts.

Through it all, Anthem remained focused on its core business issues. We were able to do so because of our associates, who made the pivot to working under pandemic conditions, while continuing to deliver on our promises to those we serve. Those promises are easier to manage because our associates also stepped up in 2020 to ensure that Anthem PAC was able to leverage our collective voices to help shape and inform the legislative landscape around COVID-19 delivery of care and many other core business issues in support of our company, our industry, and our customers. The generous donations of our associates allowed Anthem PAC to help elect federal and state lawmakers across the political spectrum who believe in the value of a competitive marketplace that allows us to offer consumers innovative, affordable healthcare choices.
