The resolution, introduced on February 17, 2026, calls for a thorough and transparent investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files, particularly focusing on any individuals with connections to West Virginia who may be implicated in his criminal activities. It emphasizes the importance of equal application of the law, asserting that no individual should be above justice, regardless of their status or influence. The resolution highlights the need for transparency in the investigation, citing concerns that the concealment of information undermines public trust in the justice system and may suggest preferential treatment for powerful individuals.

The House of Delegates strongly encourages federal authorities, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, to conduct a complete investigation into Epstein and his associates, with a specific focus on individuals linked to West Virginia. It calls for the release of all non-classified records related to the investigation and urges cooperation between federal and state investigative bodies if evidence of violations of West Virginia law arises. The resolution reaffirms the rights of victims to justice and accountability, condemning any attempts to suppress the truth for political or personal reasons, and emphasizes that justice must be applied equally to all. Copies of the resolution will be sent to relevant federal and state officials to ensure awareness and action.
