House Speaker Roger Hanshaw thanked members of the West Virginia House of Delegates for their hard work during the legislative session, in response to criticism from Gov. Patrick Morrisey. Hanshaw emphasized that the House has passed significant bills addressing various issues, with bipartisan support. The Legislature has passed a total of 129 House bills and 127 Senate bills, with several already signed into law.
The House passed eight bills on Wednesday, including measures related to foster care, criminal justice reform, and consumer data protection. Hanshaw highlighted the importance of identifying the root causes of societal problems to effectively address them. The House implemented a new committee structure and review process at the beginning of the year, leading to more thorough discussions on introduced bills.
Morrisey, whose public policy priorities were not fully realized during the session, threatened to call a special summer session. Hanshaw called on the public to contribute ideas for new laws and emphasized the importance of allowing society to solve its own problems. The legislative session ends on April 12th.
