W. Va. Code R. § 120-1-58

Current through Register Vol. XLI, No. 50, December 13, 2024

Section 120-1-58 - Press, Radio and Television

58.1. Any radio or television station is allowed to broadcast or record for later broadcast all or any part of a public meeting that is required to be open to the public or any public hearing authorized by the committee.

58.2. The placement and use of equipment necessary to broadcast, record or photograph a meeting or public hearing may not unduly interfere with the meeting or hearing. The committee must allow equipment to be placed within the room in such a way as to permit its intended use, and the ordinary use of the equipment may not be declared to constitute undue interference with the committee. When the room is too small to accommodate all of the media equipment and a reasonable number individuals desiring to attend the public meeting or hearing, and adequate alternative meeting room is not readily available, the committee, acting in good faith and consistent with the purposes of the government open meetings law, may require the pooling of equipment and the personnel operating it.
