This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Board of Respiratory Care to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the criteria for licensure. The legislative rule, which was filed in the State Register on August 30, 2024, is authorized under the existing law and includes several amendments aimed at updating the licensure criteria.

Key changes in the bill include the complete deletion of certain subsections and the modification of specific language regarding licensure dates. Notably, the bill removes references to the date "July 1, 2022" in several instances, thereby streamlining the criteria for licensure without the previous date restrictions. The overall intent of the bill is to modernize the licensure process for respiratory therapists in West Virginia.
