This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Board of Occupational Therapy to promulgate a legislative rule concerning requests for waivers of licensing fees for certain individuals. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on January 10, 2024, identified as 13 CSR 07, which outlines the procedures and criteria for such fee waivers. The intent of the bill is to provide clarity and formal authorization for the Board of Occupational Therapy to implement this rule, thereby potentially easing the financial burden on eligible individuals seeking licensure in the field of occupational therapy. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new and does not contain any existing provisions that are being altered.
