This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require 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). The new legal language specifies that the Secretary "shall propose legislative rules in accordance with the provisions of 29A-3-1 et seq. to include alpha-gal syndrome" in the reporting requirements.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing provisions regarding the Secretary's review of public pool facilities. It changes the language from "shall" to "may," indicating that the Secretary is not obligated to review repairs or modernization of equipment at public pool facilities, provided that such activities do not alter the facility's scope or exceed a cost of $25,000. This change aims to streamline the regulatory process for minor updates to public pool facilities while maintaining public health standards.
