This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Election Commission to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the regulation of campaign finance. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on August 30, 2024, which was subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and refiled on January 3, 2025. The bill aims to formalize the authority of the Election Commission to implement this rule, which is identified as regulation of campaign finance under the designation 146 CSR 03.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new and does not contain any existing legal language that is being removed. The primary focus is on granting the Election Commission the necessary authority to regulate campaign finance through the proposed legislative rule.
