ENROLLED
H. B. 511
(By Mr. Speaker, Mr. Kiss, and Delegates Staton, Varner, Pino,
Givens, Doyle and Stalnaker)
[Passed September 19, 2001; in effect from passage.]
AN ACT to amend and reenact sections one, two and two-b, article
two, chapter one of the code of West Virginia, one thousand
nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, all relating to
apportionment of membership of the Senate; apportionment of
membership of the House of Delegates; requiring all actions
necessary and related to such apportionment; and defining
terms.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That sections one, two and two-b, article two, chapter one of
the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as
amended, be amended and reenacted, all to read as follows:
ARTICLE 2. APPORTIONMENT OF REPRESENTATION.
§1-2-1. Senatorial districts.
(a) This section shall be known and may be cited as the
"Senate Redistricting Act of 2001".
(b) As used in this section:
(1) "County" means the territory comprising a county of this
state as such county existed on the first day of January, two thousand, notwithstanding any boundary changes thereof made
subsequent thereto;
(2) "Block" and "voting district" mean those geographic areas
as defined by the bureau of the census of the United States
department of commerce for the taking of the two thousand census of
population and described on census maps prepared by the bureau of
the census. Such maps are, at the time of this enactment,
maintained by the bureau of the census and filed in the office of
legislative services;
(3) "Incumbent senator" means a senator elected at the general
election held in the year two thousand or at any general election
thereafter, with an unexpired term of at least two years in
duration.
(c) The Legislature recognizes that in dividing the state into
senatorial districts, the Legislature is bound not only by the
United States constitution but also by the West Virginia
constitution; that in any instance where the West Virginia
constitution conflicts with the United States constitution, the
United States constitution must govern and control, as recognized
in section one, article one of the West Virginia constitution; that
the United States constitution, as interpreted by the United States
supreme court and other federal courts, requires state legislatures
to be apportioned so as to achieve equality of population as near
as is practicable, population disparities being permissible where
justified by rational state policies; and that the West Virginia
constitution requires two senators to be elected from each
senatorial district for terms of four years each, one such senator
being elected every two years, with one half of the senators being elected biennially, and requires senatorial districts to be
compact, formed of contiguous territory and bounded by county
lines. The Legislature finds and declares that it is not possible
to divide the state into senatorial districts so as to achieve
equality of population as near as is practicable as required by the
United States supreme court and other federal courts and at the
same time adhere to all of these provisions of the West Virginia
constitution; but that, in an effort to adhere as closely as
possible to all of these provisions of the West Virginia
constitution, the Legislature, in dividing the state into
senatorial districts, as described and constituted in subsection
(d)of this section, has:
(1) Adhered to the equality of population concept, while at
the same time recognizing that from the formation of this state in
the year one thousand eight hundred sixty-three, each constitution
of West Virginia and the statutes enacted by the Legislature have
recognized political subdivision lines and many functions, policies
and programs of government have been implemented along political
subdivision lines;
(2) Made the senatorial districts as compact as possible,
consistent with the equality of population concept;
(3) Formed the senatorial districts of "contiguous territory"
as that term has been construed and applied by the West Virginia
supreme court of appeals;
(4) Deviated from the long-established state policy,
recognized in subdivision (1) above, by crossing county lines only
when necessary to ensure that all senatorial districts were formed
of contiguous territory or when adherence to county lines produced unacceptable population inequalities and only to the extent
necessary in order to maintain contiguity of territory and to
achieve acceptable equality of population; and
(5) Also taken into account in crossing county lines, to the
extent feasible, the community of interests of the people involved.
(d) The Senate shall be composed of thirty-four senators, one
senator to be elected at the general election to be held in the
year two thousand two, and biennially thereafter for a four-year
term from each of the senatorial districts hereinafter in this
subsection described and constituted as follows:

(e) The West Virginia constitution further provides, in
section four, article VI thereof, that where a senatorial district
is composed of more than one county, both senators for such
district shall not be chosen from the same county, a residency
dispersal provision which is clear with respect to senatorial
districts which follow county lines, as required by such
constitution, but which is not clear in application with respect to
senatorial districts which cross county lines. However, in an
effort to adhere as closely as possible to the West Virginia
constitution in this regard, the following additional provisions,
in furtherance of the rationale of such residency dispersal
provision and to give meaning and effect thereto, are hereby
established:
(1) With respect to a senatorial district which is composed of
one or more whole counties and one or more parts of another county
or counties, no more than one senator shall be chosen from the same
county or part of a county to represent such senatorial district;
(2) With respect to a senatorial district which does not
contain any whole county but only parts of two or more counties, no
more than one senator shall be chosen from the same part to
represent such senatorial district; and
(3) With respect to superimposed senatorial districts which
contain only one whole county, all senators shall be chosen from
such county to represent such senatorial districts.
(f) Candidates for the Senate shall be nominated as provided
in section four, article five, chapter three of this code, except
that such candidates shall be nominated in accordance with the
residency dispersal provisions specified in section four, article
VI of the West Virginia constitution and the additional residency
dispersal provisions specified in subsection (e) of this section.
Candidates for the Senate shall also be elected in accordance with
the residency dispersal provisions specified in said section and
the additional residency dispersal provisions specified in
subsection (e) of this section. In furtherance of the foregoing
provisions of this subsection, no person may file a certificate of
candidacy for election from a senatorial district described and
constituted in subsection (d) of this section if he or she resides
in the same county and the same such senatorial district wherein
also resides an incumbent senator, whether the senatorial district
wherein such incumbent senator resides was described and
constituted by chapter eighty-five, acts of the Legislature, one thousand nine hundred ninety-three, or was described and
constituted in subsection (d) of this section or its immediately
prior enactment. Any vacancy in a nomination shall be filled, any
appointment to fill a vacancy in the Senate shall be made and any
candidates in an election to fill a vacancy in the Senate shall be
chosen so as to be consistent with the residency dispersal
provisions specified in section four, article VI of the West
Virginia constitution and the additional residency dispersal
provisions specified in subsection (e) of this section.
(g) Regardless of the changes in senatorial district
boundaries made by the provisions of subsection (d) of this
section, all senators elected at the general election held in the
year one thousand nine hundred ninety-eight and at the general
election held in the year two thousand shall continue to hold their
seats as members of the Senate for the term, and as representatives
of the senatorial district, for which each thereof, respectively,
was elected. Any appointment made or election held to fill a
vacancy in the Senate shall be for the remainder of the term and as
a representative of the senatorial district, for which the vacating
senator was elected or appointed, and any such election shall be
held in the district as the same was described and constituted at
the time the vacating senator was elected or appointed.
(h) The secretary of state may promulgate rules and
regulations to implement the provisions of this section, including
emergency rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the
provisions of section five, article three, chapter twenty-nine-a of
this code.

§1-2-2b. Precinct boundary changes.
(a) If an election precinct of this state includes territory contained in more than one senatorial or delegate district, as such
senatorial districts are established by section one of this
article, and as such delegate districts are established by section
two of this article, it is the duty of the county commission of the
county in which the precinct is located, prior to the fifteenth day
of March, two thousand two, to alter the boundary lines of its
election precincts so that no precinct contains territory included
in more than one senatorial or delegate district.
(b) Every county commission shall, prior to the fifteenth day
of March, two thousand two, alter the boundary lines of its
election precincts so that the geographical boundaries of the
precincts are consistent with the voting districts geographically
defined by the bureau of the census of the United States department
of commerce for the taking of the two thousand census of population
and described on census maps prepared by the bureau of the census.
The maps are, at the time of the reenactment of this section in the
year two thousand one, maintained by the bureau of the census and
filed with the joint committee on government and finance. A voting
district may contain more than one election precinct if:
(1) The geographical boundaries of the election precincts when
combined are identical to the geographical boundaries of the voting
district; and
(2) The election precinct lines are established so that no
precinct contains territory included in more than one senatorial
district or in more than one delegate district, consistent with
subsection (a) of this section.
(c) The joint committee on government and finance may provide
assistance to county commissions in altering the boundary lines in compliance with this section. The joint committee may further
assist county commissions in drawing other county boundaries and
magisterial districts, if requested by the county commission.
(d) The provisions of this section govern and control
notwithstanding any conflicting provision of section seven, article
one, chapter three of this code.
