A Senate committee of the 2025 Legislature in West Virginia adopted committee rules and moved two recommendations sending nominations to the full Senate, while excluding one nominee for separate consideration; the meeting record does not include roll-call tallies or hearing dates.
The committee first adopted rules distributed by staff. The junior senator from the Seventeenth moved to adopt the rules; the motion was approved by voice vote, and the chair declared the motion adopted.
Later the committee considered Senate Executive Message 1j. The junior senator from the Seventeenth moved that the committee recommend to the full Senate that it consent to all nominations contained in Senate Executive Message 1j with the exception of nomination number 18. With no further discussion recorded, the motion was adopted by voice vote.
The committee then considered Senate Executive Message 5. The junior senator from the Seventeenth moved that the committee recommend to the full Senate that it consent to all nominations contained in Senate Executive Message 5. That motion was likewise approved by voice vote and declared adopted.
At the conclusion of the brief meeting the junior senator from the Seventeenth moved to adjourn; the motion was adopted by voice vote.
