This bill proposes the repeal of multiple sections of the Code of West Virginia, specifically 5B-2-1 through 5B-2-21, which collectively establish and govern the Department of Economic Development. The intent of the legislation is to eliminate the legal framework that currently supports this department, effectively dissolving it and its associated functions.

By repealing these sections, the bill aims to streamline government operations and potentially redirect resources or responsibilities elsewhere. The removal of these provisions signifies a significant shift in the state's approach to economic development, as it will no longer have a dedicated department overseeing such initiatives.
