The House Judiciary Committee met in the afternoon briefly today to discuss HJR24 and SB 239.
HJR 24 would propose an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia relating to education, and providing for the election of members of the State Board of Education. The bill was moved to be reconsidered by the committee and the movement was adopted.
Senate Bill 239 would limit the use of wages by employers and labor organizations for political activities. The burden of responsibility would be on the employers to be sure the law is carried out. Many already do this through the use of a form, signed by both the employer and the employee. There would have to be an annual renewal of the contract as well. The bill was laid over until the next meeting.
The committee is in recess until 5 minutes after the House floor session at 4 p.m.
