CHARLESTON Ƶ A bill to add regulations on recovery homes found new life after it died in the final hours of the 2022 West Virginia Legislative session, as senators rubber-stamped it to open the 2023 session.

Sponsored by Sen. Mike Woelfel, D-Cabell, the bill could create a pilot program in Cabell County to study the uniqueness of recovery residents and their relationship to landlord-tenant law. Sen. Bob Plymale, D-Wayne, is a co-sponsor.
