Relating to federal involvement in elections
This bill requires West Virginia election officials to obtain legislative approval before implementing any new federal election rules or accepting new federal funds for elections. It also mandates that state agencies notify the Governor, Secretary of State, and legislature whenever they receive election-related communications from federal agencies. The bill directly affects how the state handles federal election policies and funding by adding a legislative review step. This creates a formal process for state oversight of federal election involvement without altering existing election procedures.
