Primary HB 2348

In committee · West Virginia House of Delegates · Lead sponsor

Relating to salary enhancement for Emergency Medical Services personnel

Maddy summaryThis bill creates a dedicated fund to boost salaries for West Virginia's emergency medical services (EMS) personnel, aiming to improve retention of these critical workers. It requires that 10% of the fund's resources be specifically allocated to a statewide mental health program for first responders, managed by the state EMS office instead of distributing that portion across all counties. The fund will be distributed to counties based on need, including factors like recruitment challenges, existing local levies, and gaps in staffing. Annual reports will track fund usage, the number of workers receiving salary enhancements, and mental health program implementation.

Exempt non-profits from certain road sign fees

Maddy summaryHB 2124 exempts nonprofit organizations from paying annual license fees required for outdoor advertising signs in West Virginia. The bill amends state code to remove the $125 fee (for up to 20 permits) or $1,000 fee (for 21+ permits) that would otherwise apply to nonprofits seeking outdoor advertising licenses, while requiring them to still submit applications and provide necessary information. This directly affects nonprofit groups that display outdoor advertisements, such as community organizations or charities, by reducing their regulatory costs. The change modifies existing licensing requirements under §17-22-13(c) of West Virginia Code without altering application procedures.

Urging the federal government reach a resolution regarding National Radio Quiet Zone restrictions

Maddy summaryThis House Resolution urges the federal government to address communication restrictions within the National Radio Quiet Zone in West Virginia and surrounding counties. The bill directly affects residents and first responders in Pendleton, Barbour, Pocahontas, Randolph, Tucker, Upshur, and Webster counties who rely on cell phones and public safety radios. It specifically calls for a resolution regarding the power output limits on cell towers and radio networks near the Green Bank Observatory and the NSA's Sugar Grove Research Station. The resolution highlights concerns that these limits hinder emergency communications for 911 personnel and other first responders during critical situations. A copy of the resolution is to be sent to federal agencies managing the facilities and the state's congressional delegation.
