This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. The specific legislative rule in question was filed in the State Register on August 29, 2024, and subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 16, 2024.

The primary purpose of this bill is to provide the necessary authorization for the Board of Pharmacy to implement the legislative rule related to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act, ensuring that the state's regulations are up-to-date and compliant with current standards. This section is newly introduced, and therefore, there are no deletions or existing legal language being modified.
