Bill Summary
The purpose of this bill is to prohibit spending authority for money used by an agency in support of a challenge to West Virginia law.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a limitation on how state agencies and local governments can spend money, specifically prohibiting them from using funds to challenge West Virginia state laws. However, there are important exceptions: the Attorney General of West Virginia is explicitly allowed to challenge any state law, and other constitutionally elected state officials, such as the Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Auditor, and Commissioner of Agriculture, are permitted to challenge laws that directly relate to the constitutional duties and functions of their offices.
