This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Office of Technology to promulgate a legislative rule concerning cyber reporting. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on July 18, 2025, which was modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and subsequently refiled on August 14, 2025. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the designation "163 CSR 03" to identify the specific rule related to cyber reporting.

The primary purpose of this bill is to formalize the authority of the Office of Technology to implement regulations that will enhance cyber reporting practices within the state. This legislative action aims to improve the state's cybersecurity framework by establishing clear guidelines and protocols for reporting cyber incidents.
