The bill amends and reenacts section 16-1-4 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to enhance the State Public Health System by requiring the Secretary of the Department of Health to propose legislative rules that include alpha-gal syndrome on the list of diseases mandated for reporting to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This addition aims to improve public health monitoring and response to this specific disease, which is associated with tick bites and can lead to severe allergic reactions to red meat.

Additionally, the bill modifies the existing language regarding the Secretary's authority to review repairs or modernization of public pool facilities. The new provision allows the Secretary to not review such activities as long as they do not change the facility's scope or current use and do not exceed a planned cost of $25,000. This change is intended to streamline the regulatory process for minor improvements to public pool facilities while maintaining health and safety standards.
