HB 5525 Southern West Virginia Clean Water Fund Act of 2026 was double referenced first to the House Committee on Energy and Public Works, but never came to a vote there.

Wednesday, March 4, was Day 50 (Crossover Day), meaning it’s the last day to consider bills on third reading in the house of origin. HB 5525 never was passed out of Energy Committee or its second reference to Finance.

There was a motion on the floor to discharge the bill for immediate consideration Wednesday afternoon, meaning a suspension of the constitutional rule to have a bill read on three separate days. The list of delegates that voted no were voting no on that discharge motion, NOT on the Southern West Virginia Clean Water Fund Act of 2026.

The bill had not gone through the committee process with proper vetting, testimony and voting. There was also a $10 million fiscal note attached to the bill.

I PROUDLY VOTED YES on SB 250 - the Budget Bill - that includes $76 million for clean water throughout the state, to upgrade infrastructure, and to protect rivers and streams.

No one voted no on the Southern West Virginia Clean Water Fund Act of 2026, only the discharge motion for the reasons stated above.

I understand everyone’s frustration on this issue when it looks like so many people are voting against something so basic, but these are the facts.
