The bill amends West Virginia Code §8-29-6 to clarify the qualifications for members of regional airport boards. It allows members to be residents of the municipality or county where the airport is located, ensuring that appointments to the regional airport authority board can be made from within the boundaries of either government entity. This change aims to enhance local representation on the boards by permitting a combination of qualified municipal and county residents.

The legislation specifies that the number of votes for each municipality and county on the board will still adhere to the requirements outlined in §8-29-4 of the code. This amendment is set to take effect 90 days after its passage, which is scheduled for July 8, 2025.
