This bill aims to amend various sections of the Code of West Virginia to eliminate the office of County Surveyor from the electoral process and ultimately discontinue the position in the state. Specifically, it proposes to remove references to the County Surveyor in the election provisions, including the deletion of the position from ballots after the 2024 elections. The bill also repeals the existing requirement for a license for county surveyors, effectively ending the office's legal standing.

The proposed changes include the insertion of new language stating that the office of County Surveyor will be removed from ballots following the 2024 elections, and it will no longer be a recognized position within the state's electoral framework. Additionally, the bill modifies existing laws to ensure that the responsibilities and vacancies related to the County Surveyor are no longer applicable, thereby streamlining the election process and reflecting the current lack of use for the office in West Virginia counties.
