AI Summary
This bill, by repealing section 55-2-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, as amended, removes a specific legal time limit, known as a statute of limitations, that previously restricted how long someone had to file a lawsuit to enter upon or recover possession of land. In simpler terms, it eliminates a rule that prevented people from claiming ownership or possession of land after a certain period had passed.
