The House received six reports on bills that had passed in the Senate today. House Bill 3208 was the only bill in which the House did not concur with the amendments made by the Senate. After the House refused to concur, House Bill 3208 was sent back to the Senate with a request that the decision is receded. If the Senate does not recede its decision, a conference committee will be formed to settle the dispute. The other House Bills sent from the Senate for concurrence completed legislative action.
Nine bills were presented on third reading in the House today. Senate Bill 532 would create the WV SAFE Mortgage Licensing Act. Senate Bill 595 would relate to assignment of child support obligations. Senate Bill 669 would extend Preventative Care Pilot Programs. Of these bills, Senate Bill 12, Senate Bill 424, Senate Bill 532, Senate Bill 595 and Senate Bill 669 were communicated to the Senate for approval.
The other bills passed on third reading completed legislative action and were sent to the Governor for approval.
The House adopted three concurrent resolutions today. House Concurrent Resolution 62 was adopted, which would request that the Joint Committee on Government and Finance authorize the study of the creation of art, entertainment and enterprise districts within political subdivisions. House Concurrent Resolution 75 was also adopted, which would request that the Big Otter Overpass on Interstate 79 in Clay County be named the “Pearl Harbor: PFC Carey K. Stockwell Memorial Bridge.”
