This bill amends and reenacts section 64-3-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to promulgate a legislative rule concerning water pollution control permit fee schedules. The specific rule in question was filed in the State Register on August 29, 2024, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on November 21, 2024.

The bill aims to ensure that the DEP has the necessary authority to implement and manage the fee schedules associated with water pollution control permits, thereby enhancing the state's regulatory framework for environmental protection. The text indicates that this section is new, and as such, there are no deletions or existing legal language being modified.
