The bill amends section 8-29-6 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to modify the qualifications for members of regional airport authorities. Previously, all members were required to be residents of the municipality or county they represented. The new language allows for a participating municipality or county to appoint a nonresident member to the regional airport authority, provided that they comply with the necessary legal advertisement requirements.

Specifically, the bill stipulates that a nonresident member can be appointed 90 days after a notice is published to fill an initial appointment or vacancy as a Class II legal advertisement, in accordance with the provisions outlined in section 59-3-1 et seq. of the code. This change aims to enhance the flexibility of regional airport authorities in their governance by allowing for broader representation.
