Bill overview
This bill amends West Virginia law to allow employers to give hiring preference to military spouses without violating the state’s Human Rights Act. It establishes that such a preference is permissible unless it conflicts with bona fide occupational qualifications, security regulations, or equal employment opportunity laws. The bill clarifies the definition of ‘military spouse’ and ‘veteran’ for the purpose of this preference, ensuring that applicants meet the necessary qualifications and experience for the job.
