The Senate Judiciary Committee met on Wednesday to discuss two bills.
Senate Bill 62 amends a West Virginia code of expungement of a controlled substance. The bill would require first time offenders of possession of a controlled substance to participate in a drug court program before the charge may be taken off a person’s record. The court may require the offender to go to a drug treatment program as well.
Senate Bill 240 would repeal obsolete rules that are no longer used, and have no legal backing. These rules have already been taken over by newer laws and regulations, but these obsolete rules are still within the W. Va. Code. None of the rules that are up for repeal would have any direct impact to the citizens of W. Va.
Both bills were approved by the Committee, and were reported to the Senate to be voted upon.
