West Virginia SB880 prohibits state agencies from using the term "West Bank" to refer to Judea and Samaria in official materials.
West Virginia SB880, known as the Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act, mandates that state agencies refer to the land controlled by Israel from Jordan during the Six-Day War as "Judea and Samaria" instead of "West Bank." It prohibits state agencies from using the term "West Bank" in any official government materials, including guidance, rules, briefings, and press releases. The executive head of a state agency may waive this prohibition if it is in the state's interest, provided a written explanation is submitted within 30 days.
