This bill proposes the repeal of section 19-1-4b of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, which currently grants the Agriculture Commissioner the authority to increase certain fees through rules or regulations. The intent of the legislation is to eliminate this authority, thereby preventing the Agriculture Commissioner from unilaterally raising fees.
The bill does not introduce any new legal language but instead focuses on removing the existing provision that allows for fee increases. By repealing this section, the bill aims to provide more stability and predictability regarding fees associated with the Department of Agriculture.
