March 2. 1999 Hlnton News - 3 Legislative Notes By Delegate Mary P. Compton Lawmakers have approximately two weeks remaining of the 74th Legislature. Because of limited time, it was necessary to get all legislation in and out of committees and onto the House floor this past week. The House of Delegates had until this past Friday, Feb. 26, to introduce bills. However, originating and supplemental appropriation bills, as well as the Budget Bill, may be introduced and acted upon until the end of session. These upcoming days will determine the fate of many proposed legislative measures. It is within these next days when lawmakers decide what bills will be passed and made into law and what bills will die in committee. As we began the 74th Legislative Session, three issues took the forefront and have been a main concern for many West Virginians: mountaintop removal, workers' compensation reform and financing the Public Employees Insurance Agency. Legislation concerning mountaintop removal and workers' compensation have been moving quite smoothly to date, and seem to be on the "fast track to passage," thus far. As I mentioned in last week's column, a bill meeting the approval of both labor and business was drafted. The Workers' Compensation bill lowers total body injury thresholds for injured workers to qualify for permanent total disability and promises that employer premiums will be lowered by an amount equal to the increase in benefits. This bill also gives a break on interest to companies that have delinquent premiums• The Senate passed the bill Friday, Feb. 19, and is expected to be on the Governor's desk by the end of the , .AIp, .this.week the Senate is expected to take up a bill that would roll back the amount of stream bed that can be destroyed by valley fills before companies must mitigate the damage. It would likely restore the 250-acre standard that was tle Division of Environment Protection policy, before a 1998 law expanded it to 480 acres. This bill also would require a comprehensive study of the environmental impact of mountaintop removal mining be conducted. Lawmakers continue to address problems surrounding the Public Employees Insurance Agency. For what many deem as the "biggest problem" facing the Legislative, I want to assure you that lawmakers continue to review a variety of proposals in order to develop the best possible solution. However, if a solution is not agreed upon, a plan adopted last year by the PEIA its share of the settlement, including $21.3 million this year. Although the fate of legislation can never be truly determined until that final day of session, we can say that these proposed measures seem to be headed in the right direction. As always, if you have any legislative questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call me at 340-3269. Students Named to Wesleyan Dean's List Area students have been honored for being among the best academic Finance Board will go into effect. The following legislation seems to be making headway and is "right on track" for this session: A bill to replace the current, unpopular Family Law Master system is in the works. The new family courts consists of 35 full-time family court judges supervised by circuit courts under this bill. Circuit court redistricting is yet another issue that must be considered. A bill must be passed so that districts can be redrawn before 2000. This bill would most likely add two or three judges, but would not make any major changes in the current districts. Road bonds as well as tobacco settlement legislation seem to be moving at the right pace. A bill that would authorize the sale of an additional $110 million in highway construction stands a good chance for passage this session. Also, required as part of the settlement with major cigarette manufacturers, the bill imposes a "tax" on small tobacco companies that were not parties to the national $206 billion settlement. Passage of this bill would allow the state to draw down students at West Virginia Wesleyan College, announced Dean Richard G. Weeks. Students on the dean's list have achieved a 3.5 or higher grade point average for the semester while carrying a load of at least 12 semester hours. Named to the 1998 fall semester dean's list are senior Ryan Crowder of Hinton, majoring in secondary education; sophomore Joshua Newton of Pipestem, majoringAn psychology; and freshman Jennifer Keatley of Forest Hill.
