Intr Text

Allows West Virginia county commissions to post legal ads on their websites instead of local newspapers.

West Virginia HB4140 permits county commissions to publish legal advertisements on their websites rather than in local newspapers. The bill mandates that county websites include specific information about elected officials and county operations. This includes the title and name of each elected county office holder, their contact information, a secure electronic means of contact, copies of county ordinances and meeting minutes, and a schedule of regular meeting days. The county commission may withhold contact information if it deems it necessary for safety reasons.
