Today’s edition of the State Register lists three meetings that did not comply with the public notice requirements of West Virginia’s open meetings law.

The agencies involved were the Cabell-Huntington Board of Health, the DHHR Drug Utilization Review Board and the Board of Psychologists.

As we’ve reminded folks before, the West Virginia Open Governmental Proceedings Act requires agencies to send meeting notices to the Secretary of State in time for notices to appear in the State Register five days prior to a scheduled meeting. Every week, we list the agencies that didn’t comply, thanks to the Secretary of State’s office, which kindly marks those agencies with an asterisk in the list of meetings published each Friday in the Register.
