This bill amends and reenacts section 64-6-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Fire Commission to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the fire code. Specifically, it references a legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on June 3, 2025, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 6, 2025. The rule in question pertains to the fire code, designated as 87 CSR 01.

The primary purpose of this bill is to provide the necessary legal framework for the Fire Commission to implement and enforce updated fire safety regulations through the promulgation of this legislative rule. The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as the section being amended is new and does not contain any existing provisions that are being struck through.
