This bill amends and reenacts section 64-6-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Governor's Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction to promulgate a legislative rule concerning law enforcement training and certification standards. The specific rule in question was filed in the State Register on July 24, 2025, and subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on September 24, 2025.
The purpose of this legislation is to formalize the authority of the Governor's Committee on Crime, Delinquency, and Correction to establish standards for law enforcement training and certification, thereby enhancing the regulatory framework governing law enforcement practices in West Virginia. The section being amended is new, and as such, there are no deletions or existing legal language being altered.
