Bill > SB792

This bill removes the requirement that the Supreme Court of Appeals, the state's highest court, must provide every magistrate, who are local judicial officers, with a physical copy of the West Virginia Code, which is the official compilation of the state's laws. Previously, the administrative director of the Supreme Court of Appeals was responsible for supplying these copies, which were to remain state property, but this bill eliminates that obligation, likely to reduce costs and streamline operations by allowing magistrates to access the code electronically or through other means.
