The Senate reconvened today at 11 a.m. and suspended the constitutional rule which says a bill must be read on three separate days in order to pass Senate Bill 364.
The bill would permit duly authorized agents of the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, for use in post-mortem examinations, to have access to inspect certain confidential information on controlled substances that is required to be kept by the State Board of Pharmacy.
The Senate also suspended the constitutional rule to pass Senate Bill 611, which would remove location requirements for offices of the Higher Education Policy Commission, the Vice Chancellor for Administration and the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education.
Additionally, four resolutions were adopted including Senate Resolution 28, which honored the Boy Scouts of America for their 100 anniversary. The Boy Scouts deliver 30 million hours of community service every year.
