CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The education omnibus bill will be reported to the state Senate on Monday, four days after its passage in the House of Delegates.
The House passed the sweeping legislation Thursday while making changes; the non-severability clause, “paycheck protection” provision and the portion establishing educational savings accounts were removed, and more limitations were added regarding establishing charter schools. The chamber approved funding for placing police officers in every school in the state.
The Senate could accept the legislation or make further changes, leading to a conference committee.
The final day of the legislative session is March 9.
