West Virginia Code Chapter 6. General Provisions Respecting Officers § 6-9C-3. Virtual meetings

(a) A public agency may meet virtually during an emergency that is the subject of an emergency declaration if otherwise permitted by law, or all or part of the jurisdiction of the public agency is subject to the emergency declaration; and the person authorized by law or by rule of the public agency to act for the public agency determines that due to the emergency it would not be practical or prudent for the public agency to meet physically or if the emergency declaration prohibits physical meetings.

(b) If a virtual meeting of a public agency authorized by § 6-9C-3(a) of this code complies with the requirements of § 6-9C-4, § 6-9C-5, and § 6-9C-6 of this code, then any action taken at a virtual meeting has the same legal force and effect as an action taken at a physical meeting of the public agency. All other laws of the state that apply to a physical meeting of a public agency shall, to the extent practicable and not inconsistent with a virtual meeting, apply to a virtual meeting of the public agency.
