On this West Virginia Morning, Del. Matt Rohrbach, R-Cabell, is the Deputy Speaker of the House of Delegates. In an excerpt from the Feb. 17, 2025 episode of The Legislature Today, Rohrback spoke with news director Eric Douglas about plans for legislation, the new process of debating bills in the House and legislation implementing religious exemptions from vaccines.

And shortly after taking office, attorney General JB McCuskey created the new position of Director of Substance Abuse Prevention and Recovery. As Maria Young reports, he named Josh Barker to the position because of his personal experience with the issue.
