This bill aims to amend and reenact section 64-3-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to grant the Department of Environmental Protection the authority to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the control of air pollution from hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities. The specific rule referenced is the one filed in the State Register on July 23, 2025, which is authorized under the existing authority of section 22-5-4 of the code.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law, as it introduces new legal language to facilitate the Department of Environmental Protection's regulatory efforts in managing air pollution associated with hazardous waste facilities. The intent is to enhance environmental protection measures in West Virginia by establishing clear guidelines for air quality control in this sector.
