This bill amends and reenacts section 64-3-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate a legislative rule concerning standards of performance for new stationary sources. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on August 23, 2024, which is authorized under the existing authority of 22-5-4 of the code.

The primary purpose of this bill is to ensure that the Department of Environmental Protection has the necessary authorization to implement and enforce standards that will apply to new stationary sources, thereby enhancing environmental protection measures within the state. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new and does not have any existing provisions that are being altered.
