On this episode of The Legislature Today, the 2024 West Virginia Legislative session has kicked off. Chris Schulz brings us an overview of Gov. Jim Justice’s State of the State address, and Randy Yohe brings us the minority response. Yohe speaks with Minority Leader Del. Sean Hornbuckle, D-Cabell, and Sen. Mike Caputo, D-Marion.
Also, we recap the action from the first two days. Between the two chambers, there were nearly 1,000 bills introduced. Briana Heaney gives us an overview of Senate action.
We also hear about nine delegates who left the House since last session along with honors for a long-time staff member who passed away recently, and the legislature recognized the longest serving woman and Republican in the Senate.
And, Curtis Tate tells us about a report presented to both chambers on the economic outlook for the state.
