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 these rules in accordance with existing provisions, thereby formalizing the inclusion of this syndrome in public health reporting requirements.

Additionally, the bill modifies the Secretary's authority regarding the review of repairs or modernization of public pool facilities. The language change allows the Secretary to have discretion in reviewing such activities, provided they do not alter the facility's scope or exceed a cost of $25,000. This adjustment aims to streamline the regulatory process for minor improvements while maintaining public health standards.
