AI Summary

  • Removes the authority of the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to cancel leases where the annual consideration is less than $5 per acre with 30 days written notice

  • Currently, the Department can cancel such low-value leases if they contain a provision authorizing cancellation or impairment by the Legislature; this bill eliminates that power

  • Retains all other powers of the Commissioner of Agriculture, including leasing land for agricultural production, transferring land to the public land corporation, and developing lands for public use

  • Makes technical corrections including renumbering subsections and adding the word "and" to maintain proper statutory structure
