Delegates in the West Virginia House of Delegates have been busy during the legislative session, discussing a variety of bills including those related to elections, public utilities, and the education system. One bill that passed requires absentee ballots to be received by 7:30 p.m. on Election Night, rather than being postmarked by election day. Meanwhile, another bill addresses failing public utility systems to prevent rate increases on citizens.
In the education sector, lawmakers debated a bill that would allow teachers to carry firearms at school. While some support the bill as a safety measure, others argue that it is not necessary and that the focus should be on improving school security and letting law enforcement handle such situations.
In addition to these bills, the House also discussed providing additional training in reading for elementary school teachers, with the belief that it will benefit both students and teachers. The House and Senate will reconvene on Friday morning to continue their discussions on these important issues. Stay tuned for further updates on the progress of these bills as the legislative session continues.
