The bill amends the West Virginia Tourism Development Act by extending the sunset provision for project applications from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2030. This change allows the Division of Economic Development to continue accepting new project applications until the new deadline. Additionally, any applications submitted before January 1, 2031, that have not been approved will be considered null and void as of that date.

Furthermore, the bill corrects the title of the relevant division from "development office" to "Division of Economic Development," ensuring that the terminology used in the law accurately reflects the current organizational structure. This legislative update aims to provide clarity and continuity in the administration of tourism development projects in West Virginia.
