This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Psychologists to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the requirements for licensure as a psychologist or a school psychologist. The legislative rule in question was initially filed in the State Register on August 18, 2025, and subsequently modified to address the objections raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on December 19, 2025.

The specific new language introduced in this bill is "17 CSR 03," which pertains to the requirements for licensure. The bill aims to ensure that the Psychologists have the authority to establish and enforce these licensure requirements, thereby enhancing the regulatory framework governing the profession in West Virginia.
