Eliminates requirement for Supreme Court of Appeals to supply magistrates with hard copies of West Virginia Code.

West Virginia SB792 removes the requirement that the Supreme Court of Appeals supply magistrates with hard copies of the West Virginia Code. This bill amends Section 50-1-11 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, relating to courts and officers. The change eliminates the statutory mandate for the Supreme Court of Appeals to provide each magistrate with a current copy of the West Virginia Code, which previously remained the property of the state.
