Help Small Businesses Win Big Act of 2020
May 1, 2020 Honorable Jim Justice Governor’s Office 1900 Kanawha Blvd. E. Charleston, WV 25305 Governor Justice: The undersigned members of the West Virginia Senate write today to urge you to call an extraordinary session of the 84th Legislature, as soon as practicable, to enact the “Help Small Business Win Big Act of 2020” a small business emergency assistance grant program that will provide short-term cash flow support to the state’s small businesses and increase overall business confidence during the unprecedented economic disruption caused by the Coronavirus (COVID- 19) outbreak. On March 16, 2020, you initiated efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 by declaring a State of Emergency in West Virginia. Subsequent containment measures were announced, including the closure of all restaurants and bars, gyms and recreation facilities, barbershops, hair salons, and nail salons. These restrictions culminated with the issuance of a Stay at Home Order for West Virginians on March 23, 2020. While these measures are consistent with similar measures being taken nationally that are expected to limit the public’s exposure to COVID-19, there is already and will continue to be an adverse economic impact on our state’s economy, particularly small businesses. Small enterprises (businesses and non-profits) (SBEs), and residents employed by these businesses, are facing unprecedented economic challenges as businesses have difficulties meeting payroll obligations and supporting basic operating expenses. These challenges are only expected to increase during a prolonged period of restricted operation or closing. Without a source of immediate relief, small businesses are being forced to furlough or lay off employees. -

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.
