West Virginia HB4870 extends campaign finance report deadlines for legislators during legislative sessions.

West Virginia HB4870 amends the state's election code to extend deadlines for filing campaign finance reports for members of the Legislature when those deadlines fall during regular, extraordinary, or special sessions. The new deadline is set at seven days after the final adjournment of the applicable legislative session. This extension aims to alleviate the burden on legislators who are required to be physically present at the seat of government during sessions, often residing far from their homes and personal records necessary for report preparation.
