The Senate convened Friday morning to discuss one bill that was one third reading and up for passage.
Senate Bill 613 would require the Commissioner of the Division of Natural Resources (DNR) to include an option for organ donation on hunting and fishing licenses, and would also require publication of the ability to have the option to add organ donation on these licenses. The bill passed the Senate unanimously, and will be reported to the House of Delegates.
23 bills were read on second reading and advanced to third; one of them being Senate Bill 86. The proposed legislation would require county boards of education to provide free feminine hygiene products to female students who need it.
The Senate also adopted Senate Resolution 57 which designated Feb. 22, 2019 as West Virginia State University Day at the Legislature.
