The West Virginia House of Delegates is the lower house of the West Virginia State Legislature, the state legislature of West Virginia. 100 Members make up the legislature and meet at the State Capitol in Charleston. All members are elected to two year terms.

Session Length

Regular sessions of the Legislature begin on the second Wednesday in January of each year and last for 60 consecutive days. However, in the year a governor is inaugurated a 30-day recess is taken after the first day of the session to allow the governor time to prepare his legislative agenda, including a proposed state budget, for the coming year. In this case, the legislators return on the second Wednesday in February to meet for 60 consecutive days. On the first day of the 60-day session, members of both the Senate and the House hold a joint session in the House Chamber at which the governor presents his legislative program along with the state’s budget bill. Speaking before the full body in what is called the “State of the State Address,” the governor proposes suggestions as to what key issues he believes the legislators should act on during the session.

Any regular session may be extended by concurrent resolution adopted by a two-thirds vote of members elected to each house. If the session is extended, legislators cannot act on any measures except business stated in the concurrent resolution. The governor must by proclamation, extend the session if the budget bill shall not have been acted upon three days prior to the constitutional expiration of the session[1]
