The Senate Committee on the Judiciary met Tuesday afternoon to discuss three House Bill that were on the agenda.
House Bill 2183 would add language that clarifies that DUIs may only be assessed against individuals operating a vehicle upon a public highway or private road.
House Bill 2691 would provide that a license to carry a concealed deadly weapon expires on the holder’s birthday five years after the license was issued. The Committee approved a strike and insert amendment that would make the license valid for five years. The license would then expire the same day it was issued, or on the cardholder’s birthday; whichever is later.
House Bill 2193 would enact a new code section to provide for the escheatment of ownership of U.S. savings bonds to the State of West Virginia after a Court ruling that the bonds are abandoned under the terms of the statute.
The Committee passed all three bills, and will be reported to the full Senate to be voted upon.
