Charleston, WV (Wowk) – The Senators of West Virginia adopted bills, offered changes and set laws for what turned out to be a busy Friday.
The legislative period is discussing on the full Senate with draft laws on many different topics that the mountain state faces.
Friday in the Senate of West Virginia unanimously passed, including one in relation to doctors.
“It would enable doctors to take part in the program to break the traffic laws if they react to the emergency without receiving a traffic quote,” said Senator Mark Maynard von Wayne County. “I will ask questions, but I ask the passage of the law.”
A legislative template that received a second reading dealt with the expansion of the option of optometry in the mountain state. The Republican Senator Tom Takubo offered changes to the law.
“According to the law, you can have certification and carry out your first operation through living people who have never done this without supervision,” said Takubo.
One of Takubo’s changes passed while the other failed. The senators are planning to coordinate the bill next week.
Another draft law that was discussed in the committee would bring back the death penalty in West Virginia, but only for the crime of deliberately killing a first-aid or law enforcement officer in service.
“In recent years we have found a real enhance in law enforcement authorities on duty. This has to stop, “said Republican Senator Mike Stuart, who sponsors the law.
Another top problem that is discussed in this session revolves around the behavior of the primary schools and enables a teacher to remove a violent student from his classroom.
“In the law, we added that for the first crime when a child has violent, threatening or intimidating behavior, meets a school consultant, social worker or psychologist,” said Republican Senator Amy Grady from Mason County. “You will receive a functional behavior analysis immediately. This person … The teacher and the headmaster have created a behavior plan for this student. It gives you a two -week trial period.”
If a student continues to demonstrate violent behavior, he will be recorded in one of the alternative learning centers of the state or may be necessary to learn virtually.
“There are some options. It’s not perfect, “said Grady, the chairman of the education committee.” We want to have alternative learning schools in every district, but we don’t. I think we move in the right direction. “
The senators plan to coordinate the SB 199 bill early next week.
