Relating to entry upon or recovery of lands.
HB 2442 repeals a West Virginia law (§55-2-1) that set a specific time limit for filing lawsuits to enter upon or recover lands. This change removes the existing deadline for property disputes involving land access or ownership, affecting individuals and entities involved in such legal actions. The bill does not create new rules but eliminates the current limitation period governing these cases. As a procedural repeal, it directly impacts how land-related lawsuits are filed in West Virginia courts.
