To abolish the Department of Economic Development and the cabinet board position

HB 2468 would repeal all legal provisions establishing the West Virginia Department of Economic Development, including sections §5B-2-1 through §5B-2-21 of the state code. This bill directly affects the department itself and the cabinet-level position overseeing it, eliminating both from state law. The legislation would remove the department's legal foundation without creating new structures, effectively abolishing the entity and its associated leadership role. This is a procedural bill focused solely on repealing existing statutes, not on creating new policies or programs.
