Requiring petition of qualified voters for defeated amendment to be reconsidered regarding city charters

SB 645 requires West Virginia cities to consider a petition signed by qualified voters if they seek to revisit a charter amendment previously rejected by voters. The bill mandates that city governing bodies must formally review such petitions, ensuring rejected amendments cannot be indefinitely blocked without voter input. This change directly affects all West Virginia cities by altering the process for reconsidering rejected charter amendments, requiring clear action on voter petitions rather than allowing dismissal.
