The bill amends and reenacts sections of the Code of West Virginia to authorize various agencies within the Department of Administration to promulgate legislative rules. Specifically, it allows the Department of Administration to implement a rule for the One-Stop Shop Permitting Program, the Office of Technology to establish a rule for cyber reporting, and the Board of Risk and Insurance Management to create rules for mine subsidence insurance, a public entities insurance program, and a Preferred Medical Liability and High-Risk Medical Liability Program. Each of these rules has been modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and has been refiled in the State Register.

The legislative rules referenced in the bill were filed on specific dates in 2025 and are authorized under various sections of the West Virginia Code. The bill emphasizes the importance of these rules in enhancing administrative efficiency and addressing specific needs within the state, such as insurance management and technology reporting. The bill is effective immediately upon passage, reflecting the urgency of implementing these regulatory frameworks.
