County Boundary Review Amendment

SJR 1 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring West Virginia's Legislature to review county boundaries every 100 years starting in 2031. The bill directs lawmakers to assess county populations, demographics, and transportation access, and to redraw or combine counties if they determine it would benefit residents. Any proposed boundary changes would then be submitted to voters in the next general election for approval. This amendment directly affects all West Virginia counties and their residents by establishing a regular, constitutionally mandated process for potential county boundary adjustments.
