CAWV / ARTBA OSHA 10-Hour Course
Newsletter 2014-47 November 21, 2014 CAWV LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE PLANS FOR 2015 SESSION Members of the CAWV Legislative Committee met Wednesday to begin planning for the upcoming session of the West Virginia Legislature. "There is new leadership in the House and Senate which will mean all new committee chairs and possibly new committee staff and counsel," said Chairman C.R Neighborgall, The Neighborgall Construction Company. "HUB/PAC had a 70 percent success rate in the Senate races we supported and 93 percent rate in House races," the chairman said. "However, with 10 new senators and 33 new delegates elected this term, we will have a lot of new legislators to meet and get to know." CAWV members will get an email from the committee asking which legislators they know and will be willing to contact when issues arise during the legislative session. Members are also being asked to recommend issues for legislative action, including regulatory or rule revisions. See article below for details. CAWV NEEDS MEMBER INPUT ON LEGISLATIVE ISSUES The CAWV’s legislative program’s successes are a result of the foresight and support of the association’s membership. As Legislative Committee Chairman C.R. Neighborgall prepares to formulate a plan for the 2015 legislative session, member input is needed. In this week’s Newsletter is a survey asking members to list the top three issues the CAWV should pursue in 2015. The new House and Senate leadership have asked the CAWV to specifically comment on regulatory issues that affect contracting that, if modified or repealed, would promote a better business climate. -
Underthedome
UNDER the DOME FEBRUARY 1, 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 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. -
LB 2015 – 01 January 19, 2015
LB 2015 – 01 January 19, 2015 Starting today and running through the 60-day legislative session, members will receive, via e-mail, the CAWV Legislative Bulletin every Monday morning. The bulletin contains up-to-the- minute information on issues affecting the contracting industry and association members. In addition to the Monday morning Legislative Bulletins, the CAWV will be sending out Legislative Alerts throughout the coming weeks to members via email. Members will be asked to contact their legislators on issues affecting the industry and member companies through the CAWV Legislative Action Center, powered by BIPAC. When necessary, the CAWV will provide members with a letter template, and with just a few clicks, a personalized letter or email can be sent. BIPAC also provides a “Find Your Legislator” feature, election information and a refresher on government. Members will be encouraged to contact their senators and delegates on key legislative issues, and instructions on how to do so through BIPAC will be included in future Legislative Alerts. Hundreds of individual email messages voicing support or opposition to pending legislation were sent to legislators last year, making the CAWV Legislative Action Center a very effective tool when communicating with legislators. With Republicans taking control of the House and Senate, the first time in 83 years, the entire committee leadership structure is changed. Republicans will control the Chair and Vice Chair positions and Democrats will compose of the Minority Chair and Vice Chair positions. Republicans will have the majority on each committee as well. In the House, many of the new chairs are long serving House Republican members. -

2020 Page Program Book
WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE PAGE PROGRAM 2020 Published by the Clerk of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of Delegates Since the inception of the Page Program in 1993, its intent has been to provide a learning experience for youth in the legislative process. Our goal is to present educational and historical information to students participating as Pages during the Regular Session of the Legislature. Among other things in the Page Program Book, students will find an explanation of the rules governing the actions of Senators and Delegates as they deliberate legislation on the Chamber Floors of both houses. There is a diagram which covers the basic overview of how a bill moves through the legislative process on its way to becoming law. Students will also find lists of current Senators and Delegates, an overview of the Standing Committees of the Senate and House of Delegates and instructions on proper etiquette when on the Senate or House Chamber Floors. Maps are included to help students find their way around the Capitol Building. It is our hope that students serving as Pages find this experience enjoyable, informative and useful in their educational pursuits and that they come away with a better understanding of the legislative process and an interest in effecting positive change in our state.
