Repeal WV Code §56-3-16. Execution of process on Sunday.
HB 4055 repeals a West Virginia law (WV Code §56-3-16) that prohibited courts from serving legal documents (like summonses or warrants) on Sundays. This change would allow civil court processes to be executed any day of the week, including Sundays. The bill directly affects courts, legal professionals, and individuals involved in civil court proceedings by removing a longstanding Sunday restriction. It is a procedural repeal with no new requirements or funding impacts.
