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 the Board fails to file timely notice with the committee.

Key provisions include the requirement for the Board to file a notice of adoption or withdrawal of rules within six months after public comment, and the establishment of a process for the Legislative Oversight Commission to review proposed rules, including holding public hearings if deemed necessary. Additionally, the bill outlines the conditions under which emergency rules may be promulgated and the review process for these rules, ensuring that they are subject to legislative oversight and compliance with statutory authority.
