The bill amends several sections of the West Virginia Code related to the rulemaking authority of the State Board of Education. It requires the Board to submit newly promulgated rules to the Legislature through the Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability, allowing the Legislature to approve, amend, or reject these rules. The bill also adjusts the time frames for the Board to submit emergency rules and stipulates that such rules will expire if a notice is not timely filed with the committee.

Key provisions include the requirement for the Board to file the full text of any proposed legislative rule, along with a summary and fiscal note, to the Legislative Oversight Commission. The Commission is tasked with reviewing these rules and may hold public hearings to assess their compliance with statutory authority and legislative intent. Additionally, the bill outlines the process for emergency rules, including their filing requirements and expiration conditions, ensuring that the Board cannot evade legislative review through the use of emergency provisions.
