Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to require a petition of qualified voters for a once defeated amendment to be reconsidered.

AI Summary

This bill amends West Virginia Code Section 8-4-8 to require that if a proposed city charter amendment is rejected by voters in an election, it cannot be proposed again for at least one year unless a petition signed by qualified voters is submitted, following the procedures outlined in Section 8-4-1(b) of the code. This change specifically addresses the reconsideration of defeated amendments, ensuring a more robust process involving voter support before a rejected amendment can be brought back for consideration.
