Relating to King Coal Highway Economic Advisory Board Act

SB 931 renames the "West Virginia Advanced Energy and Economic Corridor Authority" to the "King Coal Highway Economic Advisory Board" and reduces its membership from 15 to 11 members. The bill directly affects McDowell, Mercer, Mingo, Wayne, and Wyoming counties, which face economic challenges due to shifts in the coal industry. Key provisions include updating the board's purpose to support economic development along the King Coal Highway corridor by reducing regulatory barriers, leveraging natural resources, and fostering business growth. The board will continue advising local governments and businesses on revitalizing these coal-dependent regions.
