This bill amends and reenacts section 64-2-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Department of Administration to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the general administration of records management and preservation. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on March 27, 2024, which is identified as 148 CSR 12 and is authorized under the authority of 5A-8-8 of the code. The primary purpose of this bill is to formalize the Department of Administration's ability to manage and preserve records effectively through the establishment of this legislative rule. As this section is newly introduced, there are no deletions from current law, and the bill aims to enhance the state's administrative capabilities in records management.
