West Virginia HB5199 authorizes county courts to establish county Parks, Entertainment, and Recreation Commissions.

West Virginia HB5199 amends the state code to allow county courts to create county Parks, Entertainment, and Recreation Commissions (PERCs). These commissions are tasked with establishing, improving, developing, administering, operating, and maintaining county public parks and recreation systems or recreational facilities. The bill specifies that each commission must consist of eleven members, an odd number determined by the county's population. Members must be bona fide residents of the county and own real estate within it.
