This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 30-1-27, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, which aims to prohibit spending authority for any board or commission that retains a labor position. The legislation stipulates that, starting July 1, 2025, any existing requirements for a person from or representing labor on these boards or commissions will be nullified. Instead, these positions will be filled by laypersons who are not affiliated with organized labor.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that spending authority for any board or commission will be suspended until compliance with this new section is achieved. This means that boards or commissions must appoint non-labor-affiliated individuals to fulfill the previous labor position requirements before they can access funds. The overall intent of the bill is to restrict the influence of organized labor on boards and commissions by eliminating labor representation and ensuring that only non-affiliated individuals are appointed.
