This bill proposes the addition of a new section, 30-1-28, to the Code of West Virginia, 1931, which aims to prohibit spending authority for any board or commission that retains a labor position. The bill stipulates that starting July 1, 2026, any existing requirements for labor representation on 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 no spending authority will be granted to any board or commission until they comply with the new requirements outlined in this section. This legislative change is intended to reshape the composition of boards and commissions by removing labor representation and ensuring that only non-labor affiliated individuals are appointed.
