Amending section 22 of article VI thereof, relating to amending the annual 60-day regular session provisions to provide every other year for a 30-day session for the sole purpose of passing a state budget, and every other year a 60-day general law session in which any legislation may be considered

Summary

The resolution would change the state’s regular legislative calendar so that every other year the Legislature meets for only 30 days to pass the state budget, while the intervening years retain a 60‑day session for all other legislation. It applies to all members of the West Virginia House and Senate and aims to shorten the time spent on budget work to save taxpayers money. The amendment would be placed on the 2026 general election ballot for voter approval.
