This bill aims to amend and reenact section 64-3-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to grant the Division of Water and Waste Management the authority to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the hazardous waste management system. Specifically, it authorizes the legislative rule that was filed in the State Register on July 23, 2025, under the authority of section 22-18-6 of the code.

The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the designation of the rule as "33 CSR 20," which pertains to the hazardous waste management system. This amendment is intended to formalize the Division's ability to manage hazardous waste effectively through established regulations.
