The bill amends the West Virginia Tourism Development Act by extending the sunset provision for project applications to December 31, 2030. This means that the Division of Economic Development will not accept any new project applications after this date. Additionally, any applications submitted before January 1, 2031, that have not been approved will be considered null and void as of that date.
The legislation also includes a revision to correct the titles of affected divisions within the act. This update is part of a broader effort to ensure clarity and accuracy in the law as it pertains to tourism development in West Virginia. The bill is set to take effect 90 days after its passage, which is on July 10, 2025.
