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. By removing this provision, the bill aims to eliminate the commissioner's ability to adjust these fees at their discretion.

The legislative action reflects a shift in policy regarding the management of fees associated with the Department of Agriculture, potentially impacting how these fees are set and adjusted in the future. The bill was introduced on February 12, 2025, and has been referred to the Committee on Agriculture for further consideration.
