Summary

The legislation changes state law so that a minimum of half the members on any county or city development board must have lived in West Virginia for at least six months before appointment and must also reside in the county or municipality where the authority operates. It applies to new and existing authorities and sets the residency rule as a condition for appointment. The goal is to ensure local representation in entities that manage economic development projects.
