This bill proposes the repeal of section 49-5-106 of the Code of West Virginia, which pertains to the data collection responsibilities of various state agencies, including the Supreme Court of Appeals, the Division of Juvenile Services, the Department of Human Services, and the Department of Education. The section in question was established for the Juvenile Justice Reform Oversight Committee, which has since sunset on December 31, 2020, rendering the data collection requirements obsolete.
The bill aims to formally eliminate the now-unnecessary legal framework surrounding data collection for the Juvenile Justice Reform Oversight Committee, as its functions are no longer active. By repealing this section, the legislation seeks to streamline the legal code and remove outdated provisions that are no longer applicable.
