The bill amends and reenacts sections of the Code of West Virginia to authorize various agencies within the Department of Commerce to promulgate legislative rules. Specifically, it allows the Office of Miners Health, Safety, and Training to establish rules regarding the certification, recertification, and training of EMT miners and instructors. Additionally, the Division of Natural Resources is granted authority to create rules related to the transportation and sale of wildlife parts, boating regulations, public use of campgrounds, hunting and trapping prohibitions, and other related activities.

Key amendments include changes to the rules governing campsite occupancy, which now require that a person aged 18 or older be present at each rented campsite and responsible for the actions of all occupants. The bill also limits the number of motor vehicles and camping units allowed on a campsite, with provisions for family and youth organization groups. Furthermore, it removes a specific prohibition from the hunting and trapping regulations, renumbering the remaining subsections accordingly. These changes aim to enhance safety and management of natural resources in West Virginia.
