West Virginia Senators Revive Raylees Law: A Bold Move to Protect Children
West Virginia senators made a last-minute push to pass Raylees Law, a measure aimed at keeping children safer during child abuse and neglect investigations. They folded the law into House Bill 5537, which clears out old parts of the education code, giving it a chance to pass before the session ends. The original Senate Bill 972 got stuck in committee, leaving supporters to find a new path forward. Senator Ryan Weld from Brooke County pushed the amendment, and senators overruled the Senate Presidents ruling to approve it. The bill now heads to the House of Delegates for a final vote, with time running out as the session ends at midnight Saturday.
