West Virginia HJR41 proposes to amend the state constitution to alternate between 30-day budget sessions and 60-day general law sessions.
West Virginia HJR41 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to change the annual legislative session from a 60-day session to alternating 30-day and 60-day sessions. Every other year, the 30-day session would focus solely on passing the state budget, while the 60-day session would allow for consideration of any legislation. This amendment aims to potentially save taxpayers money by reducing the length of every other session. The proposed change would be subject to voter approval in the 2026 general election.
