HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION NO. 104
(By Mr. Speaker Mr. Kiss and Delegate Staton)
[Introduced April 9, 2005.]
Authorizing the Clerk of the Senate and the Clerk of the House of
Delegates to correct a designation or term used in certain
bills that, from the context, is clearly wrong.
Whereas, several bills have passed both houses of the
Legislature using the term "correctional facility" when the context
of the bills obviously indicates that the term "regional jail"
would be the correct term to be used; and
Whereas, the Legislature wishes to avoid a gubernatorial veto
based on purely technical grounds created by a misnomer,
therefore,
be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Clerk of the West Virginia Senate and the Clerk of
the House of Delegates in their capacity to enroll all of the bills
enacted by the Legislature during the Regular Session of the
Legislature, 2005, may correct the use of the designation or term
"correctional facility" used in certain bills where, from the
context, it is obviously indicated that the designation or term
"regional jail" is correct and should be used.
