Senate OKs amended intermediate court bill, which now goes to governor


CHARLESTON – A bill that would create a new intermediate appellate court is headed to the governor s desk.

Under SB 334, all new and existing programs would need to apply to the Office for Health Facility Licensure and Certification.

House unanimously passes bill addressing convictions from discredited forensic evidence


CHARLESTON The House of Delegates has passed a bill that would give wrongfully convicted people a pathway to get back into state court based on discredited forensic evidence.
House Bill 2888, which is sponsored by Delegate Joshua Higginbotham (R-Putnam), now heads to the state Senate. It was passed March 16 by the House on a 99-0 vote after unanimously passing the House Judiciary Committee earlier this month.
