est Virginia's House of Delegates faces a momentous decision after Speaker Rick Thompson departs for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's Cabinet: choosing a new leader will help set the stage for 2014, when Republicans aim to wipe out the Democrats' ebbing majority.
CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia lawmakers would get a
sense of the potential economic effects of pending legislation through a
measure introduced this session.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has proposed that the state Development Office compile a jobs impact statement upon request.
The
office coordinates the state's various economic development efforts.
Friday's bill would allow the office to enlist other state agencies or
outside groups to aid its research.
Agencies already routinely estimate what legislation would do to government spending and revenues.
Tomblin's
bill says only the governor, the House speaker or the Senate president
could request a statement. The Development Office would have 20 days to
provide one. The statement would then be shared with all legislators and
the public.
Lawmakers from both parties have proposed similar measures during previous sessions.
