Relating to Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety quorum

SB 678 amends West Virginia law to make the Director of the Office of Miners’ Health, Safety, and Training a voting member of the Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety (previously nonvoting). It also clarifies that the board may take action when a quorum is present, standardizing meeting procedures. This directly affects the board’s decision-making process, as the Director will now have a vote on coal mine health and safety regulations and policies.
