Modern Budget Amendment on November Ballot
West Virginia voters face two constitutional amendments on the November ballot. The Modern Budget Amendment shifts budget prep from the seven member Board of Public Works to the governor, allowing the legislature to adjust items in the governor's proposed budget, except for the judiciary, with the governor retaining veto power only as defined by a two thirds legislative override. The measure aims to modernize budgeting rules, redefining control among executive and legislative branches while preserving essential separations of power.
