With open government questions, Senate slows bill adjusting State Resiliency Office By February 28, 2021 - 9:33 am Senator Stephen Baldwin asks questions during a meeting of the Legislature's Joint Committee on Flooding. (Will Price/West Virginia Legislative Photography) Senators are considering a bill that could result in less public information about the State Resiliency Office, which was established to deal with the emergencies and disasters that occur all too often in West Virginia. The office already has several exemptions to state open records laws and could have one more if Senate Bill 389 passes. The bill was on course for passage in the Senate on Monday. But senators laid over the bill on Friday after concerns arose about the public’s access to information about the office. Whether it is changed or not, it could still pass the Senate this week.
