Today, the House of Delegates passed five bills, completed action on two, amended four bills, and postponed action on three.
The two bills completing legislative action were Senate Bill 462 and Senate Bill 483. These bills are routine tax modification bills, which are made each year.
House Bill 4697 adds protections for WV residents who temporarily reside out-of-state from non-renewal of licenses and registration.
House Bill 4764 requires the Commissioner of the DMV to allow the purchase of one-trip special permits to be made and paid online.

House Bill 4783 allows optometrists to perform procedures taught or trained to them through an accredited school or college of optometry. Without this bill, licensed optometrists can only perform procedures authorized by the board before 2010. The bill also extends glasses prescriptions from one year to two years.
