This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule concerning lead abatement licensing. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025, and subsequently modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 17, 2025. The rule in question is identified as "lead abatement licensing, 64 CSR 45."

The primary purpose of this legislation is to formalize the Department of Health's authority to implement regulations related to lead abatement, thereby enhancing public health measures concerning lead exposure. The bill does not include any deletions or additional legal language beyond the authorization of the rule itself.
