HB 3262 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

To require than an individual serving on two or more boards or commissions to recuse themselves when decision-making involves both entities

HB 3262 requires county commissioners who also serve on non-statutory boards to recuse themselves from voting when decisions involve both the county commission and the other board. It directly affects county commissioners holding dual roles on voluntary boards, such as planning or economic development commissions. The bill mandates that these commissioners step aside from specific votes where their participation in both bodies could create a conflict of interest. This policy change aims to prevent conflicts by ensuring decisions are made without overlapping influence. The bill is currently in committee for review after its March 7, 2025, introduction.
