Committee Moves Flood Of Bills In West Virginia Legislature
In Charleston on February 1, a flood of bills moved through committees. A bill to let the state high school athletic association form a cooperative insurance plan passed both the senate and house education panels. A house judiciary measure would harshly penalize bribes affecting game sizes or scores by coaches trainers and players. A senate education committee bill, replicating a house approved measure, would allow 12 month contracts for coaches athletic directors and playground supervisors in counties. A house judiciary rewrite would require countywide installation of voting machines with no recommendation. Both houses sent out education sector expansion bills adding employees to state and county boards and the education department to the teacher retirement system.
