§60-7-1. Legislative findings and purposes.
The Legislature of West Virginia, having carefully considered the provisions of section 46 of article VI of the constitution of this state and all of the matters giving rise to the enactment thereof and having further considered the operations of private clubs as defined in this article, hereby determines and finds that such private clubs are not saloons or other public places in which the sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors are required to be prohibited by the provisions of said section 46 of article VI of said constitution; but, to the contrary, are private places in which such sale and consumption of intoxicating liquors are constitutionally permitted and authorized.
