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. The modified rule was refiled in the State Register on October 6, 2025, and is identified as relating to the Fire Commission and the fire code (87 CSR 01).

The primary purpose of this bill is to formalize the authority of the Fire Commission to implement the updated fire code regulations, ensuring that the necessary legislative framework is in place for effective fire safety management in West Virginia. The bill does not include any deletions or additional legal language beyond the authorization of the Fire Commission's rule-making capabilities.
