This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Board of Occupational Therapy to promulgate a legislative rule concerning requests for waivers of licensing fees for certain individuals. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on January 10, 2024, identified as 13 CSR 07, which outlines the process for these fee waivers. The intent of the bill is to provide clarity and formalize the procedure for individuals seeking a waiver of licensing fees, thereby potentially increasing access to occupational therapy services for those who may face financial barriers. The section being amended is new, and as such, there are no deletions from current law.
