West Virginia's HB 3187 (2025) amends Code §5A-6-9, the 2024 law (HB 5690) that created the West Virginia Task Force on Artificial Intelligence. It adds identifying AI-related economic opportunities the state may support or promote to the task force's duties, replaces the one-time July 1, 2025 report with an annual electronic report by July 1 to the House, Senate and Governor, presented to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance, and sets the task force to terminate July 1, 2027. Membership and other duties are unchanged. Approved April 25, 2025 (Chapter 38); effective July 9, 2025.
