This bill aims to amend and reenact section 64-10-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to grant the Office Miners' Health, Safety, and Training the authority to establish a legislative rule concerning the certification, recertification, and training of Emergency Medical Technicians for Miners (EMT-Miners) and the certification of EMT-M instructors. The legislative rule in question was filed in the State Register on November 7, 2024, and is authorized under the existing authority of 22A-10-3 of the code.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as it introduces new legal language to facilitate the Office's ability to implement these training and certification standards. The overall purpose is to enhance the safety and preparedness of miners by ensuring that EMT-Miners and their instructors meet established certification requirements.
