Four pieces of legislations were reported to the full Senate following review by the Senate Finance Committee, Tuesday.
Of the proposed bills, all were sent to the full body with the recommendation that they each should pass. Senate Bill 117, relating to incentives for consolidating local governments, received two conceptional amendments offered by Sen. Robert Plymale, D-Wayne and Sen. Chandler Swope, R-Mercer.
Following consideration of the other legislation, committee chair, Sen. Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, motioned for 117 to be reintroduced to the committee for reconsideration. The legislation then received a committee substitute and was given a second report to the full Senate.
Other bills reviewed by the committee were:
- Senate Bill 259 intending to expanding the Coyote Control Program.
- Senate Bill 502 which would exempt sales of investment metal bullion and coins.
- Senate Bill 550 which would declare certain claims to be moral obligations of the state.
