Today the Senate met to introduce bills and refer bills to committees. The body introduced Senate Bills 358 through 373.
Senator Snyder spoke about Senate Bill 368, a bill that would repeal an article of West Virginia law. The law, which requires retailers to charge 7 percent over what they pay for a product wholesale, became law in 1939.
