This bill amends and reenacts section 64-5-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule concerning vital statistics. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on September 3, 2024, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 25, 2024.

The bill aims to formalize the Department of Health's authority to implement this rule, which is identified as relating to vital statistics under the designation 64 CSR 32. The text indicates that this section is new, and therefore, there are no deletions or existing legal language being removed.
