On this episode of The Legislature Today, News Director Eric Douglas speaks with House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, R-Clay. They discuss a number of issues including education, flooding in southern West Virginia and the crisis in foster care in the state.
In the House Thursday, HB 2712 was introduced on the floor and sent to the House Health and Human Resources Committee. The bill would remove rape and incest exceptions to West Virginia’s abortion ban. A similar bill in the Senate, SB 51, was withdrawn by its sponsor.
In the Senate, issues of gender identity have been prominent in the legislative session this year. As Chris Schulz reports, the Senate Education Committee took up the issue in their meeting Thursday.
Finally, this year’s session is already underway, but a partisan tug-of-war over the 91st district House seat hasn’t been resolved. Jack Walker talked to Berkeley County residents, plus state lawmakers, about the drawn-out search for a successor.
