This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to establish a legislative rule concerning the schedule of fines. The rule, which was initially filed in the State Register on August 20, 2024, has been modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and was refiled on October 8, 2024. The specific rule referenced is identified as 3 CSR 07. The primary purpose of this legislation is to grant the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists the authority to create and implement a structured schedule of fines, thereby enhancing regulatory oversight within the cosmetology and barbering professions in West Virginia. This bill does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new.
