Senator Drafting Truancy Bill
WEST VIRGINIA....
State Senator Erik Wells, D-Kanawha, said Friday that, during the upcoming legislative session which begins Wednesday, he plans to introduce a bill targeting unexcused absences from school. Under the bill, parents would lose their drivers licenses if their child or children have 10 unexcused absences. He acknowledged the law would likely be challenged in court.
