This bill amends and reenacts section 64-6-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Governor's Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction to promulgate a legislative rule concerning sexual assault forensic examinations. The legislative rule in question was filed in the State Register on September 9, 2024, and subsequently modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 20, 2024.

The primary purpose of this bill is to ensure that the Governor's Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction has the authority to establish regulations related to sexual assault forensic examinations, thereby enhancing the legal framework surrounding these critical procedures. The bill does not contain any deletions or existing legal language that is being modified, as it introduces new provisions to the law.
