This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Board of Sanitarians to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the practice of public health sanitation. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on August 30, 2024, which was modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and subsequently refiled on November 18, 2024. The new legal language inserted into the bill includes the designation "20 CSR 04," which pertains to the practice of public health sanitation.

The primary purpose of this bill is to ensure that the Board of Sanitarians has the authority to implement and enforce regulations that govern public health sanitation practices in West Virginia. By authorizing this legislative rule, the bill aims to enhance public health standards and ensure compliance with established sanitation practices.
