HB 2625 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Repealing the provision of code related to anchoring or beaching shanty boats on lands of another

HB 2625 repeals a West Virginia law that previously prohibited anchoring or beaching shanty boats on someone else's land without permission. This bill removes the specific penalty for this activity, meaning shanty boat users would no longer face legal consequences for anchoring or beaching on private property without explicit consent. The change directly affects individuals who use shanty boats, particularly those who may have previously needed permission to anchor near private land. The bill focuses solely on eliminating this outdated legal provision without altering other regulations.
