The bill amends various sections of the Code of West Virginia to empower multiple agencies and boards to promulgate legislative rules. It specifically grants the Department of Agriculture the authority to establish rules concerning state aid for fairs and festivals, meat and poultry inspection, and other areas. Additionally, it allows several professional boards, including the Board of Architects, Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists, and the Massage Therapy Licensure Board, to create rules related to their respective oversight areas, such as registration, fees, and licensure requirements. Significant insertions in the bill include new codes for various boards, such as 11 CSR 13 for the Board of Medicine and 190 CSR 03 for the Real Estate Appraiser Licensing and Certification Board. The bill also modifies existing rules, including changing "biannual" to "biennial" in the Real Estate Commission's licensing provisions. Overall, the bill aims to streamline regulatory processes and enhance the operational capabilities of these agencies and boards, with the changes set to take effect upon passage.
