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 concerns raised by 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 objective is to ensure that the Department of Agriculture can effectively regulate and oversee the standards and practices related to manufacture-grade milk in West Virginia.
