Tags: Legislation, West Virginia
On Saturday, March 14, 2015, the last day of the West Virginia legislative session, the Fair Pooling bill (H.B. 2688) was defeated by a tie vote in the West Virginia House of Delegates. The Fair Pooling bill, which we first discussed two weeks ago, was passed initially in the House of Delegates by a vote of 60-40. The Senate subsequently passed an amended version of the bill early on Saturday morning before sending the bill back to the House of Delegates for approval. However, by a tie vote of 49-49, the House of Delegates ultimately voted to reject the Fair Pooling bill in the final hours of the 2015 legislative session.
