Chair called the meeting to order, the clerk took a silent roll to establish a quorum, and the vice chair moved to approve minutes from 02/26/2026; the motion was adopted by voice vote.

Speakers:

A West Virginia Senate committee reviewed several child‑welfare and health bills, adopted committee amendments on multiple measures, reported them to the full Senate, and laid one bill over to get agency input. Major topics included a ban on hidden cameras in foster bedrooms/bathrooms, expansions to Right‑to‑Try eligibility, background‑check deadlines under the West Virginia Cares program, a transitional‑care expansion for youth leaving foster care with a ~$10M fiscal note, and a bill on court-ordered drug testing of parents that was laid over for further agency testimony.
