House Bill Facilitates Response During State of Emergency

The House Veteran’s Affairs and Homeland Security Committee convened Tuesday to discuss a bill that would facilitate an efficient and proper response during a declared State of Emergency.

House Bill 4383 comes as a response to the West Virginia floods in 2016. This bill exempts out-of-state employees and businesses from taxes and licensing while they are providing temporary relief during the emergency. In turn, this speeds up the relief process.

The bill will be referred to finance before being reported to the full House.
