The resolution proposes an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution, specifically targeting Article VI, Section 18, to change the frequency of the Legislature's sessions from annual to bi-annual. If ratified, the Legislature would convene every two years, starting on the second Wednesday of January in odd-numbered years. The amendment also outlines the organizational procedures for the Legislature upon convening and specifies the timing for the submission of the state budget by the governor.
The resolution has been introduced and referred to the appropriate committees, and it seeks to have the proposed amendment presented to voters during the 2026 general election. It is designated as "Amendment 1" and is summarized as the "Bi-annual Legislative Session Amendment," with the intent to modify the legislative session frequency to occur once every two years.
