SB 91 West Virginia Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Prohibiting spending authority for money used by board or commission that retains labor position

SB 91 prohibits county boards and commissions from using public funds if they retain a labor representative position. Starting July 1, 2026, any requirement for labor representatives on these bodies is eliminated, and they must appoint a non-labor-affiliated "lay person" instead. Boards or commissions failing to comply by this date lose spending authority for all activities. The bill directly affects county-level boards and commissions that currently include labor representatives in their membership structure.
