This bill proposes the repeal of section 19-1-4b of the Code of West Virginia, 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.
By repealing this provision, the bill aims to ensure that any changes to fees would require a different legislative process, potentially increasing oversight and accountability regarding fee adjustments within the Department of Agriculture. The bill does not introduce any new legal language but focuses solely on the removal of the existing authority.
