H. B. 2690

(By Delegate Brown)
[Introduced March 24, 1993; referred to the
Committee on Government Organization then Finance.]

A BILL to repeal sections seven and fourteen, article one-a, chapter forty-seven of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, relating to registration by sellers of bedding or filling material and annual registration fees.

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

ARTICLE 1A. REGULATION AND CONTROL OF BEDDING AND UPHOLSTERY BUSINESSES.

§1. Repeal of sections relating to registration by sellers of bedding or filling material and annual registration fees.

Sections seven and fourteen, article one-a, chapter forty- seven of the code of West Virginia, one thousand nine hundred thirty-one, as amended, are hereby repealed.

NOTE: The purpose of this bill is to eliminate the annual registration requirement and the applicable fees. This bill would cause the loss of approximately $46,700 to the general revenue fund, but would provide relief to about 1,000 businessescurrently conducting business under the provisions of this article. Registration with the state has become unnecessary because federal regulations are now in effect to adequately protect the consumer.
