February 13 Homeschooling Still Under Attack
The West Virginia House Health Committee Chairman joined me on the radio today for a legislative update. Delegate Evan Worrell is a homeschooling dad so of course we talk about Homeschool Day at the Capitol and Prolife Day at the Capitol. Worrell also discussed how he partnered with Katana Curry to introduce legislation making changes to the Foster Care Bill of Rights. House Bill 4749 aims to ensure that a child who is 13 or older is informed by their guardian ad litem or legal counsel of any hearing relevant to their case and is asked whether they would like to attend. The bill passed the House of Delegates 96-0 and now heads to the Senate.

February 06 Make West Virginia Healthy Act
WV Delegate Evan Worrell (R-Cabell) explains the Recharge West Virginia Act, a initiative designed to support small businesses and enhance workforce skills, as well as broader health initiatives that seek to combat chronic diseases in the state.
