(By Senators Bailey and Hunter)

financial consideration to military personnel called to active

sometimes inadequate to protect the financial interests of persons
called to active duty; and
Whereas, Persons called to defend the nation should not suffer
financial hardship because of their military service; and
Whereas, Banking institutions in West Virginia should consider
exceeding the obligations of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act to

Virginia to extend financial consideration to military personnel
