Modifying classes of state of preparedness declared by Governor or Legislature

SB 66 simplifies West Virginia's emergency declaration system by reducing the two existing classes of "state of preparedness" (Class I and Class II) to a single level, similar to the current "state of emergency" framework. This change eliminates distinctions in expiration timelines - previously Class I expired in 30 days (requiring legislative extension) while Class II terminated via proclamation - replacing them with one standardized process. The bill also clarifies that combined durations for a state of preparedness followed by a state of emergency cannot exceed 90 days without proper legislative extension. It directly affects the Governor and Legislature, who declare these states, and ensures consistent procedures for public safety responses during crises. (Amends §15-5-6 of West Virginia Code.)
