Re: Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2648
Dear Speaker Armstead:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return the Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2648.
This bill purports to create a new article in the West Virginia Code titled the "Epinephrine Auto-Injector Availability and Use Act", designated article forty-six of chapter sixteen. However, this same article was utilized this Regular Session to enact the separate "Access to Opioid Antagonists Act", which I signed into law on March 9, 2015. In light of this statutory conflict, I am constrained to disapprove and return this bill. I urge the Legislature to repair the technical error identified herein by amending this bill on reconsideration to create a new article in the West Virginia Code for the Epinephrine Auto-Injector Availability and Use Act.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.
On motion of Delegate Cowles, the bill was taken up for immediate consideration and the House of Delegates proceeded to reconsider the bill, in an effort to meet the objections of the Governor.
On motion of Delegate Cowles, the bill was amended on page two, by striking out everything after the enacting clause and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

Re: Enrolled House Bill No. 2664
Dear Speaker Armstead:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled House Bill No. 2664 for technical reasons.
First, the title of the bill is defective. See State ex rel. Davis v. Oakley, 156 W. Va. 154, 191 S.E.2d 610 (1972) (requiring bill title to provide notice of bill's contents). The title of the bill fails to note that the bill increases the criminal penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs causing death. Additionally, the title provides that the bill "eliminat[es] the misdemeanor offense of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs." Section 17C-5-2(d) and § 17C-5-2(e) of the West Virginia Code provide for a misdemeanor offense of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs. A suggested change to this clause of the title is to add the words "causing death" to the end of the clause.
Second, the enacting section of the bill is incorrect in form.
Third, the penalties provided for second and third offense violations of § 17C-5-2(b) set forth in § 17C-5-2(k) and § 17C-5-2(1) appear to be in conflict with § 17C-5-2(b). With respect to a second offense under § 17C-5-2-(k), the penalty is less severe than that for a first offense under § 17C-5-2(b). For example, a person who commits the second offense of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs causing serious bodily injury would only be convicted of a misdemeanor under § 17C-5-2(k); a first offense of the same crime is a felony under § 17C-5-2(b). Similarly, with respect to a third offense under § 17C-5-2(1), the imprisonment penalty is less severe than that for a first offense under § 17C-5-2(b). A suggested fix for this issue is to create a new subsection of subdivision that deals specifically with penalties for second and third offenses in violation of § 17C-5-2(b), along with removing the reference to subsection (b) in subsections (k) and (l) of § 17C-5-2. The bill's title will also require language added to cover these suggested revisions.
For the foregoing reasons, I disapprove and return this bill. I urge the Legislature to correct these technical issues, and to return the bill to my desk for signature.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.
On motion of Delegate Cowles, the bill was taken up for immediate consideration and the House of Delegates proceeded to reconsider the bill, in an effort to meet the objections of the Governor.

The Speaker laid before the House of Delegates a communication from His Excellency, the Governor, setting forth his disapproval of a bill heretofore passed by both houses, as follows:
March 18, 2015
Veto Message
The Honorable Tim Armstead
Speaker, West Virginia House of Delegates
Room 228M, Building 1
State Capitol Complex
Charleston, WV 25305
Re: Enrolled House Bill No. 2880
Dear Speaker Armstead:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled House Bill No. 2880.
This bill is well-intentioned, and I commend the Legislature for tackling West Virginia's opioid addiction predicament by establishing two new drug treatment pilot programs. However, the bill contains certain issues that should be corrected before it becomes law.
From a technical perspective, the bill's title appears to be defective in that it is vague and only references one of the two pilot programs the bill establishes. The title also fails to note that this new article of the West Virginia Code [§ 62-15A-1, et seq.] sets forth definitions and mandates the preparation of a report.
Two additional technical flaws appear on the bill's page 2. The word "opioid" is spelled incorrectly on line 4, and the cross reference in lines 6-7 is erroneous.
Further, I have a substantive concern about this bill. Specifically, I believe the Legislature's delegation of certain executive functions to the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia (e.g., requesting the Court to provide addiction treatment services) may violate the separation of powers doctrine. See Syl. Pt. 1, State ex rel. Barker v. Manchin, 279 S.E.2d 622 (W. Va. 1981) ("Article V, section 1 of the Constitution of West Virginia which prohibits any one department of our state government from exercising the powers of the others, is not merely a suggestion; it is part of the fundamental law of our State and, as such, it must be strictly construed and closely followed.")
This issue can be remedied if the bill is amended to provide that the executive branch Department of Health and Human Resources ("DHHR") and its Bureau for Behavioral Health and Health Facilities ("BBHHF") administer the addiction treatment services outlined in the two pilot programs at issue. DHHR and BBHHF can administer these services working collaboratively with the Court and the Division of Corrections ("DOC").
Notably, DHHR and BBHHF already administer addiction treatment services for the DOC, and DHHR and BBHHF are experts in determining eligibility for Medicaid and other health benefit programs. It makes the most sense for DHHR and BBHHF, rather than the Court and the DOC, to administer the addiction treatment services outlined in the bill.
I urge the Legislature to make the foregoing amendments to Enrolled House Bill No. 2880 today, and to return the bill to my desk for signature.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin
Governor

The Honorable Tim Armstead,
Speaker, West Virginia House of Delegates
State Capitol
Charleston, West Virginia
Dear Speaker Armstead:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 286 for technical reasons.
The bill is technically flawed because its title is defective. See State ex rel. Davis v. Oakley, 156 W. Va. 154, 191 S.E.2d 610 (1972) (requiring bill title to provide notice of bill's contents). The bill's title is the same title included in the introduced version of the bill and was not amended to reflect the committee substitute or amendments. As a result, the title includes provisions that are no longer in the bill and does not accurately provide notice of the current provisions in the bill. For the foregoing technical defect, I disapprove and return this bill.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.
On motion of Delegate Cowles, the bill was taken up for immediate consideration and the House of Delegates proceeded to reconsider the bill as amended by the Senate, in an effort to meet the objections of the Governor.
The following Senate amendments were reported by the Clerk:
On page three, section four, line twenty-six, by striking out the words "enrolling from schools".
And,
By amending the title of the bill to read as follows:
Enr. Com. Sub. for S. B. 286 - "An Act to amend and reenact §16-3-4 and §16-3-5 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, all relating generally to mandatory immunizations; adding required immunizations; requiring immunizations in public, private and parochial schools; requiring immunizations in state regulated day care centers; providing medical exemptions from mandatory immunizations for children; allowing for provisional enrollment; requiring parents and guardians to provide a certificate from the Commissioner of the Bureau for Public Health; providing that certificate be provided before exemption applies; requiring that a request for a medical exemption must be accompanied with a certificate from a licensed physician indicating immunization is medically contraindicated; providing that county health departments shall provide immunizations when families attest they cannot afford them; allowing Commissioner of the Bureau for Public Health to grant, renew, condition, deny, suspend or revoke exemptions when not medically indicated; allowing for appointment by Commissioner of the Bureau for Public Health of an immunization officer who must be a physician; allowing for immunization officer to make determinations regarding exemptions; providing for an appeal procedure for determinations by the immunization officer or the state health officer; modifying Immunization Advisory Committee; establishing a chair of the committee; and setting forth ethical limitations for committee members."

Re: Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 287
Dear Speaker Armstead:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return the Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 287.
This bill's enacting section is in error. It purports to enact a new section of the W.Va. Code, designated as § 18-2-32. However, the bill's title designates the new section as § 18-2-34a. I urge the Legislature to correct this technical inconsistency, and to return the bill to my desk for signature.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.
On motion of Delegate Cowles, the bill was taken up for immediate consideration and the House of Delegates proceeded to reconsider the bill as amended by the Senate, in an effort to meet the objections of the Governor.

Re: Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill 529
Dear Speaker Armstead:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, Article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return the Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 529.
The bill presented to me does not accurately reflect certain amendments passed by the Legislature. For example, West Virginia Code § 18-7D-6, which was added to the bill by amendment of the House of Delegates and concurred with by the Senate, is not included in the bill's final enrolled committee substitute. As such, the bill presented to my office is inaccurate.
Moreover, the title of the bill may be deficient and should be reviewed to determine that it accurately reflects all provisions contained within the bill.
Finally, the enacting section of the bill and the title of the bill are inconsistent in the West Virginia Code sections referenced. For example, § 18-7D-6 appears in the title but not in the enacting section. These two sections should be revised to be consistent.
I urge the Legislature to review this bill, revise the technical issues, and return it to my desk for signature.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.
On motion of Delegate Cowles, the bill was taken up for immediate consideration and the House of Delegates proceeded to reconsider the bill as amended by the Senate, in an effort to meet the objections of the Governor.
The following Senate amendments were reported by the Clerk:
On page one, by striking out the enacting section and inserting in lieu thereof a new enacting section, to read as follows:
"That §5-10-2, §5-10-14, §5-10-15, §5-10-15a, §5-10-20, §5-10-21 and §5-10-29 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, be amended and reenacted; that said code be amended by adding thereto a new section, designated §5-10-21a; that §5-13-2 of said code be amended and reenacted; that §5-16-13 of said code be amended and reenacted; that §15-2A-21 of said code be amended and reenacted; that §18-7A-17, §18-7A-23, §18-7A-25 of said code be amended and reenacted; that said code be amended by adding thereto two new sections, designated §18-7A-17a and §18-7a-25b; and that §18-7D-6 of said code be amended and reenacted, all to read as follows" and a colon.
On page sixty-six, after line eighty-three, by adding a new section, designated section six, to read as follows:
"ARTICLE 7D. VOLUNTARY TRANSFER FROM TEACHERS' DEFINED CONTRIBUTION RETIREMENT SYSTEM TO STATE TEACHERS RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
§18-7D-6. Service credit in State Teachers Retirement System following transfer; conversion of assets; adjustments.
(a) Any member who has affirmatively elected to transfer to the State Teachers Retirement System within the period provided in section seven of this article whose assets have been transferred from the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System to the State Teachers Retirement System pursuant to the provisions of this article and who has not made any withdrawals or cash-outs from his or her assets is, depending upon the percentage of actively contributing members affirmatively electing to transfer, entitled to service credit in the State Teachers Retirement System in accordance with the provisions of subsection (c) of this section.
(b) Any member who has made withdrawals or cash-outs will receive service credit based upon the amounts transferred. The board shall make the appropriate adjustment to the service credit the member will receive.
(c) More than seventy-five percent of actively contributing members of the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System affirmatively elected to transfer to the State Teachers Retirement System within the period provided in section seven of this article. Therefore, any member of the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System who decides to transfer to the State Teachers Retirement System calculates his or her service credit in the State Teachers Retirement System as follows:
(1) For any member affirmatively electing to transfer, the member's State Teachers Retirement System credit shall be seventy-five percent of the member's Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System service credit, less any service previously withdrawn by the member or due to a qualified domestic relations order and not repaid;
(2) To receive full credit in the State Teachers Retirement System for service in the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System for which assets are transferred, members who affirmatively elected to transfer and who provided to the board a signed verification of cost for service credit purchase form by the effective date of the amendments to this section enacted in the 2009 regular legislative session shall pay into the State Teachers Retirement System a one and one-half percent contribution by no later than July 1, 2015, or no later than ninety days after the postmarked date on a final and definitive contribution calculation from the board, whichever is later. This contribution shall be calculated as one and one-half percent of the member's estimated total earnings for which assets are transferred, plus interest of four percent per annum accumulated from the date of the member's initial participation in the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System through June 30, 2009, and interest of seven and one-half percent per annum accumulated from July 1, 2009, through July 1, 2015: Provided, That any member who transferred and provided to the board a signed verification of cost for service credit purchase form by June 30, 2009, but was unable to complete the purchase of the one and one-half percent contribution, or any member who did not request a verification of cost letter but attempted to purchase the one and one-half percent contribution and was denied in writing by the board on or before December 31, 2009, may request the board on or before April 15, 2015, to recalculate the contribution for 2015. To receive full credit, the member shall pay into the State Teachers Retirement System the recalculated purchase amount by July 1, 2015, or no later than sixty days after the postmarked date on a contribution recalculation from the board, whichever is later. The recalculated contribution shall include the interest loss at the actuarial rate of seven and one-half percent. The board's executive director may correct clerical errors.
(A) For a member contributing to the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System at any time during the 2008 fiscal year and commencing membership in the State Teachers Retirement System on July 1, 2008, or August 1, 2008, as the case may be:
(i) The estimated total earnings shall be calculated based on the member's salary and the member's age nearest birthday on June 30, 2008;
(ii) This calculation shall apply both an annual backward salary scale from that date for prior years' salaries and a forward salary scale for the salary for the 2008 fiscal year.
(B) The calculations in paragraph (A) of this subdivision are based upon the salary scale assumption applied in the West Virginia Teachers Retirement System actuarial valuation as of July 1, 2007, prepared for the Consolidated Public Retirement Board. This salary scale shall be applied regardless of breaks in service.
(d) All service previously transferred from the State Teachers Retirement System to the Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System is considered Teachers' Defined Contribution Retirement System service for the purposes of this article.
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this code to the contrary, the retirement of a member who becomes eligible to retire after the member's assets are transferred to the State Teachers Retirement System pursuant to the provisions of this article may not commence before September 1, 2008: Provided, That the Consolidated Public Retirement Board may not retire any member who is eligible to retire during the calendar year 2008 unless the member has provided a written notice to his or her county board of education by July 1, 2008, of his or her intent to retire.
(f) The provisions of section twenty-eight-e, article seven-a of this chapter do not apply to the amendments to this section enacted during the 2009 regular legislative session or the 2015 regular legislative session."
And,
By amending the title of the bill to read as follows:
Enr. Com. Sub for S. B. 529 - "An Act to amend and reenact §5-10-2, §5-10-14, §5-10-15, §5-10-15a, §5-10-20, §5-10-21 and §5-10-29 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended; to amend said code by adding thereto a new section, designated §5-10-21a; to amend and reenact §5-13-2 of said code; to amend and reenact §5-16-13 of said code; to amend and reenact §15-2A-21 of said code; to amend and reenact §18-7A-17, §18-7A-23 and §18-7A-25 of said code; to amend said code by adding thereto two new sections, designated §18-7A-17a and §18-7A-25b; and to amend and reenact §18-7D-6, all relating generally to benefits and costs for certain members of the West Virginia Public Employees Retirement System, State Police Retirement System and Teachers Retirement System; calculating final average salary and service credit for certain public employees; authorizing purchase of military service for certain members of the West Virginia Public Employees Retirement System and Teachers Retirement System; providing military service credit for certain members of the West Virginia Public Employees Retirement System; increasing contribution rate and years of contributing service required for certain public employees to qualify for certain annuities; providing for determination of years of service; providing that accrued annual and sick leave of certain employees participating in the West Virginia Public Employees Retirement System, the State Police Retirement System and the Teachers Retirement System may not be applied for retirement service credit; for a limited time permitting certain members of the Teachers Retirement System who transferred from the Teachers' Defined Contribution System to buy, with interest, their full service credit in the Teachers Retirement System; and revising the reciprocal retirement provisions for certain members of the teachers and the public employees system."

Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 347. Law-enforcement officers throughout the state have voiced overwhelming opposition to this bill. In light of their concerns and in the interest of public safety, I believe a veto is appropriate.

Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2187 for a technical reason. Specifically, the bill requires the State Building Commission to develop guidelines for display of the national motto and POW-MIA flag on state buildings and properties. The State Building Commission, however, ceased to exist as of July 1, 2000. See W. Va. Code §5-6-1.

Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2571. It would allow private businesses and entities to designate minor road repair projects for the Commissioner of Highways to complete. This program is not a cost effective use of state resources. Further, it would be unduly burdensome for the Commissioner to administer. For these reasons, I disapprove this bill.

Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Senate Bill No. 582.
The Herbert Henderson Office of Minority Affairs ("HHOMA") was created to fulfill a statewide mission; that is, to provide a forum to discuss the issues affecting West Virginia's minorities and to recommend strategies to lawmakers and community leaders for addressing those issues. This bill would require HHOMA, which has limited financial resources and consists of one executive director and her assistant, to establish a four year, comprehensive community-based pilot project focusing on public health in one neighborhood of the state.
I cannot fault the Legislature for wanting HHOMA to guide efforts for reviving Charleston's West Side neighborhood. It certainly has the energy and expertise. However, HHOMA lacks sufficient financial resources, human resources, and the time to devote itself to the considerable local undertaking outlined in this bill. Further, its focus on minority issues should not be local; it should be general and statewide. For these reasons, I disapprove Enrolled Senate Bill No. 582.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2160.
This bill would permit the West Virginia Schools for the Deaf and Blind to be eligible for all sources of funding distributed by the School Building Authority of West Virginia ("SBA"). The SBA has limited resources for funding construction and improvement projects in the public schools throughout West Virginia's fifty-five counties. I recognize the Schools for the Deaf and Blind have substantial improvement needs, and I appreciate the hard work and achievements of the Schools' teachers, aides, and students. However, this bill is problematic because it has the great potential to redirect limited resources away from the fifty-five county boards of education that apply to the SBA for funding.
This bill is also problematic because we do not yet have a firm understanding of what the Schools for the Deaf and Blind's needs are to become financially viable well into the future. Accordingly, I have asked the State Board of Education--which controls, supervises, and manages the Schools--to commission an independent, objective assessment of their needs, both facilities and curriculum-related. Outside experts should also analyze the Schools' continuing viability. Without such an assessment, there is the potential the state could spend limited resources unwisely.
I am committed to continuing to work with the Schools and the Legislature to find an appropriate solution upon completion of the outside assessment. Because this bill is premature and not the appropriate solution, I must disapprove it.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove and return Enrolled House Bill No. 2161.
The bill is technically flawed because its title is defective. See State ex rel. Davis V. Oakley, 156 W. Va. 154, 191 S.E.2d. 610 (1972) (requiring bill title to provide notice of bill's contents). The bill's title does not provide notice that wiretaps are permitted in suspected cases of human trafficking; that business entities are now subject to criminal penalties; and that there is a statute of limitations for claims; among other things. As a result, the title fails to provide adequate notice of the bill's contents, including its criminal penalties. Moreover, this bill creates the Commission on the Prevention of Human Trafficking; however, the bill does not provide a method for paying the commission's expenses. I question why this bill does not have a fiscal note.
Human trafficking is a scourge in states and communities across the country. Legislation designed to raise consciousness about this epidemic and hold accountable those who exploit human trafficking victims in West Virginia is a step in the right direction. Therefore, I encourage the legislature to resolve the foregoing issues related to this bill and to present it for my signature during the 2016 Regular Session of the Legislature.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary of State Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2240. This bill seeks to establish that strangulation is a criminal offense. However, there are numerous criminal offenses in the West Virginia Code that already prohibit and punish strangulation. See, e.g., W. Va. Code §§61-2-9 (malicious or unlawful assault; assault; battery) and 61-2-28 (domestic violence). I disapprove this bill because it is duplicative of existing law.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled House Bill No. 2576 because it is technically flawed. For example, the bill refers to boards and commissions that have been repealed; the bill incorrectly identifies several boards and commissions; and the bill contains several incorrect internal West Virginia Code citations. Moreover, page 8, lines 41-49 contain numbering issues, including two subdivisions numbered (8). For these technical reasons and others, I must disapprove the bill.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove House Bill No. 2627 because it is technically flawed.
The bill establishes, among other things, a new criminal offense for the damage or destruction of certain commercial or industrial property relating to the protection of health or safety. See page 3, lines 40-54. The bill designates this offense a felony. However, its punishment provision does not include a period of confinement in the penitentiary.
According to W. Va. Code §61-11-1, a felony offense is defined as being "punishable by confinement in the penitentiary." See also Black's Law Dictionary (9th ed. 2009) (defining felony as "[a] serious crime usually punishable by imprisonment for more than one year or by death"). Crimes that are not punished in this manner are considered misdemeanors. This bill is fundamentally flawed because the crime does not meet the definition of felony.
For this technical reason, I must disapprove the bill.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove House Bill No. 2674.
This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for home school students to receive the PROMISE scholarship. The PROMISE scholarship is a merit-based financial aid program for West Virginia residents who meet certain academic requirements, including graduating from high school with a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher or earning a general equivalency degree ("GED"). This bill eliminates the GED requirement.
Eliminating the requirement that home school students show mastery of certain subjects, rather than simply complete a course of study, provides an unfair advantage for those students to receive a PROMISE scholarship. It could also create an incentive for some students to drop out of the public school system if their performance does not meet the required GPA standard to be eligible for the PROMISE scholarship. I believe this type of advantage was not intended when the Legislature created this merit-based program. Therefore, I disapprove the bill.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2793 for the following reasons.
The bill eliminates several requirements associated with the provision of home instruction to children that are necessary and appropriate. First, the bill eliminates the requirement of two weeks' notice to remove a child from public school for the purpose of commencing home instruction. This is important to ensure there are no underlying issues associated with truancy or other attendance problems. Second, the bill removes the requirement that a plan of instruction be submitted annually. This requirement helps ensure that a home schooled child will receive adequate instruction each year to develop at a rate comparable to his or her peers, beyond an annual assessment to take place after the school year. Third, the bill eliminates the prohibition on permitting a child's parent or legal guardian to administer a nationally normed standardized achievement test for purposes of the annual assessment. This prohibition protects a parent or legal guardian from any appearance of impropriety or conflict of interest in such a testing situation. Finally, the bill eliminates the provision requiring a parent or legal guardian to pay the cost of an academic assessment that takes place outside of a public school. This leaves §18-8-1 of the West Virginia Code unclear as to who or what entity is responsible for paying the costs of the annual assessment.
For the foregoing reasons, I disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2793.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for House Bill No. 2840.
This bill would allow county boards of education to substitute up to four days of in-school instructional time with at-home instructional time in certain instances. As a result, students may only receive 176 days of in-school instructional time instead of 180 separate days as required under current law. One of my goals in Senate Bill No. 359, signed into law in 2013, was to ensure students receive 180 separate days of in-school instruction. This bill takes a step backward in meeting this goal and is directly at odds with my comprehensive education reform bill.
I encourage county boards of education to continue exploring options to meet the required 180 separate days of in-school instruction to ensure our state's students receive a thorough and efficient education.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 19.
This bill changes the requirement that all county boards of education offer early childhood education programs five days per week. Specifically, it relaxes this requirement and allows boards to offer four day programs. One of my goals through Senate Bill No. 359, signed into law in 2013, was to ensure parents had the option to send their child to a five day per week early childhood education program, except in certain limited instances where the five day requirement is waived. The changes made in Enrolled Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 19 diminish the educational requirements currently in place. It takes a step backward in meeting the goals of comprehensive education reform I championed.
I believe offering five day per week programs for early childhood education is critical to meet the developmental needs of our state's students. Consequently, I must disapprove this bill.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 30 for the following reasons.
Signing this bill into law would pose a serious risk to public health. First, the bill acknowledges that consuming raw milk has inherent dangers and that it may contain "bacteria that is particularly dangerous to children, pregnant women and those with compromised immunity." A product with these types of health risks should be subject to more supervision than merely requiring a person to release the seller from liability for such risks. Second, the bill lacks provisions regarding oversight and regulatory authority with respect to sanitation or the handling and storage of raw milk. Given the health implications of the bill, the Bureau for Public Health should have been given oversight and regulatory authority in raw milk production.
For the foregoing reasons, I disapprove Enrolled Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 30.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Dear Secretary Tennant:
Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled House Bill No. 2776.
This bill allows physician assistants, advance practice registered nurses, and optometrists to prescribe "hydrocodone combination drugs to a patient for a duration of no more than three days per thirty day period." The term "hydrocodone combination drug" is not defined in the West Virginia Code, nor is it defined in the bill. This creates ambiguity because it is not clear which drugs listed in the schedules contained in chapter sixty-a, article two of the Code may be prescribed. Further, the language added to the Code in this bill directly conflicts with other sections of the Code. For example, §§30-3E-3(a)(7), 30-7-15a(c), and 30-8-6 expressly prohibit these professionals from prescribing Schedule I and II drugs in contrast to the added language in the bill. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, this bill does not place any limit on the aggregate dosage that may be prescribed in a seventy-two hour period.
In an effort to continue combating the substance abuse problem in West Virginia, it is critical that the law is clear in identifying what drugs our state's practitioners may prescribe and the amount thereof. Because this bill is ambiguous and in conflict with existing provisions of the code, I must disapprove it.
Sincerely,
Earl Ray Tomblin,
Governor.

Pursuant to the provisions of section fourteen, article VII of the Constitution of West Virginia, I hereby disapprove Enrolled Senate Bill No. 549.
This bill increases the annual salaries of certain civilian employees within the West Virginia State Police Forensic Laboratory, including civilian evidence technicians, forensic analysts and forensic analyst supervisors. Just last year, these same employees received a twenty percent salary increase across-the-board. See Enrolled Committee Substitute for Committee Substitute for Senate Bill No. 486 (2014). Although I value the work performed by the State Police Forensic Laboratory, I am not comfortable with approving back-to-back pay raises during a year in which many other State employees are going without any pay increase.
For this reason, I disapprove Enrolled Senate Bill No. 549.

The Board of Education has made laudable efforts to determine the best course of future action related to the Cedar Lakes Camp and Conference Center and I support the transfer of the camp to a private, nonstock, not-for-profit corporation. However, §18-2L-8(d) of the bill provides for an unexpected increase in separation costs that will result in substantial taxpayer expense.
I encourage the Board of Education to work with the Legislature to remedy this issue in the future; however, as it was presented, I must disapprove the bill.
