Salary Assignments On Loans Limited To 52 Percent
The Attorney General's Office says teachers may assign up to 25 percent of monthly pay for salary loans. For small loans of $300 or less from local companies the limit is 10 percent. Court guidance notes a salary lien can last for the loan term, while longer deferrals depend on general statute provisions.

Special Plates Revenue Falls Short of Projections
Legislators expected auto license plate revenue to rise with a $5 rental charge, but the Motor Vehicle Department reports only 2,227 plates picked up so far this year, far below last year’s 22,000 when there was no charge.
Lane Visions Rush to Get Boat Permits
Commissioner Hubert A. Kelly notes the $2000 plus cost of handling special number requests may cut net revenue to under $20,000. Conservation Director Warden J. Lane sees a last minute rush for boat licenses as West Virginia requires licenses for craft over five horsepower, except Coast Guard or other state registrations. The $5 license with a $2 renewal fee applies to a calendar year, and about 10,000 vessels fall under the new law, though only 500 applications have been received.
