On this episode of The Legislature Today, Friday, Feb. 27, marks the 45th day of the 60-day session, and deadlines are coming fast. Bills must be out of their respective committees by Sunday to be able to meet crossover day next Wednesday, and lawmakers are still working their way through next fiscal year’s budget.
On Thursday, West Virginians gathered at the capitol for Affordability Day to urge lawmakers to take action on rising electric bills. They were promoting legislation called the Ratepayers Bill of Rights. To learn more, News Director Eric Douglas sat down with Emmett Pepper, the policy director for Energy Efficient West Virginia.
Also, before the Senate Judiciary Committee began consideration of a host of child welfare bills this week, they first heard from people impacted by that system.

The Legislature Today is West Virginia’s only television/radio simulcast devoted to covering the state’s 60-day regular legislative session.
Watch or listen to new episodes every Friday at 6 p.m. on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
