West Virginia SB66 simplifies state preparedness by consolidating two classes into one.

West Virginia SB66 amends the Code of West Virginia to streamline the state's preparedness declaration process. The bill consolidates the two existing classes of state preparedness into a single class, similar to the state of emergency. This change aims to simplify the declaration process and ensure a more unified response to emergencies. The bill outlines the powers granted during a state of preparedness, including the ability to enforce laws, control movement, and suspend certain activities.
