House Sends Six Bills to Senate

The West Virginia House of Delegates advanced six bills to the Senate.

House Bill 4461 would require Internet or telecommunications providers that fail to provide subscribed customers service for five or more days to issue a refund or credit for the unavailable service.

House Bill 4570 would allow a third party to serve the eviction notice by posting it on the front door, securing it, and taking a photograph of it to show that it was posted if the tenant is not available to receive the notice.

House Bill 4382 would require collection agencies to provide 30 days’ notice via mail before they garnish wages. This bill would also require a monthly statement to the debtors of how much money was garnished.

In addition to bills passed, the House passed two amendments for House Bill 4982. The first amendment, proposed by Delegate Wayne Clark (R – Jefferson, 099), would require the food used for the Make West Virginia Healthy Act of 2026 to be sourced locally.

The second amendment, proposed by Delegates Joe Statler (R – Monongalia, 77) and Christopher W. Toney (R – Raleigh, 43), would allow high schools to utilize existing facilities if available for health initiatives and would allow the Department of Education to administer the Presidential Fitness Test more easily.
