The Silver Haired Legislature is meeting October 25–27 in Charleston and came to the Capitol and the House of Delegates Chamber for their annual conference.

The West Virginia Silver Haired Legislature (SHL) is a model legislature, composed of 134 representatives 60 years of age or older, who are elected every two years from throughout the state by their peers. There is a representative in the SHL from each of the state's 55 counties. Through this program older adults learn about the legislative process and work toward identifying solutions to common problems facing the state.

Representatives from the West Virginia Senate and House of Delegates both addressed the group during their conference.
