The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to exclude the Department of Tourism from the list of agencies required to have their food service facilities operated by the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. This change is reflected in the definitions section, specifically in the definition of "governmental agency," where the Department of Tourism is now explicitly excluded alongside other agencies such as the Department of Health and the Department of Commerce.

The bill aims to streamline the operation of food service facilities within public office buildings by allowing the Department of Tourism to manage its food services independently, rather than through the Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. This legislative change is set to take effect 90 days after its passage, which is on July 9, 2025.
