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, ensuring that alpha-gal syndrome is recognized and monitored as part of the state's public health reporting requirements.

Additionally, the bill modifies existing language regarding the Secretary's review of public pool facilities. It changes the requirement from a mandatory review to a discretionary one, allowing the Secretary to choose whether to review repairs or modernization efforts at public pool facilities, provided these do not alter the facility's scope or exceed a cost of $25,000. This change aims to streamline the regulatory process while maintaining public health standards.
