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 the Safe Harbor Letter for the Medical Cannabis Program. Specifically, it includes the insertion of the reference to the legislative rule identified as 64 CSR 113, which was filed in the State Register on August 29, 2024, under the authority of 16A-3-1 of the code. The primary purpose of this legislation is to formalize the Department of Health's ability to create rules that govern the Safe Harbor Letter, which is a critical component of the Medical Cannabis Program in West Virginia. This bill does not contain any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new and does not have any existing provisions that are being removed.
