This bill proposes the repeal of West Virginia Code 61-3-36, which currently addresses the offense of anchoring or beaching shanty boats on private lands without permission. The legislation aims to eliminate the penalties associated with this action, effectively removing the legal restrictions that prevent individuals from anchoring or beaching their shanty boats on lands owned by others.

By repealing this section of the law, the bill seeks to provide greater freedom for individuals using shanty boats, potentially reducing legal conflicts related to property rights and boating activities. The bill was introduced on February 19, 2025, and has been referred to the Committee on the Judiciary for further consideration.
