Bill Summary

A BILL to amend and reenact §3-1-10 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to selecting the length of term of the state political party committee chair.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to change West Virginia law regarding the term length for the chair of a state political party committee. Currently, the law is silent on this specific detail, but this bill would allow the state executive committee of each political party to decide how long their chair will serve, based on their own internal rules. The state executive committee, which is the governing body of a political party at the state level, would also have the power to nominate candidates for other important positions like vice-chair, secretary, treasurer, and other committee members. This change aims to give political parties more flexibility in managing their leadership structure.
