MODERATE

This bill repeals numerous outdated and inoperative sections of the West Virginia Code, including provisions related to Vision 2020, state camp and conference centers, textbook adoption, and school innovation zones. The changes are primarily technical and administrative, removing obsolete legal language that no longer serves a functional purpose. The bill does not introduce new policy requirements, funding changes, or eligibility criteria, but rather cleans up the state code by eliminating sections that have been superseded or are no longer in use.
