This bill aims to amend and reenact section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to grant the Department of Agriculture the authority to promulgate a legislative rule concerning West Virginia manufacture-grade milk. The specific legislative rule in question was initially filed in the State Register on August 2, 2024, and subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 18, 2024.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new. The primary focus is on the authorization for the Department of Agriculture to implement regulations that will govern the standards and practices related to manufacture-grade milk in West Virginia.
