SB 733 West Virginia Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to membership composition of Legislative Oversight Commission on Department of Transportation Accountability

SB 733 amends the membership rules for West Virginia's Legislative Oversight Commission on Department of Transportation Accountability. It clarifies that if a legislative chamber (Senate or House) has fewer than three minority party members, vacancies on the commission may be filled with a majority party member from that chamber. The bill does not change the commission's duties but ensures it can maintain its required seven-member composition from each chamber under all party composition scenarios. This procedural change affects how the Senate President and House Speaker appoint members to the commission, which oversees Department of Transportation accountability.
