Relating to statute of limitations for discrimination

HB 5154 extends the statute of limitations for filing discrimination complaints under West Virginia law from one year to three years. It also raises the minimum employee threshold for a business to be considered an "employer" under the law from two to twelve employees. This change affects individuals who experience discrimination by giving them more time to seek redress and exempts small businesses with fewer than twelve employees from the law's coverage. The bill does not alter the types of discrimination prohibited but modifies the timeframe and scope of the Human Rights Commission's jurisdiction.
