This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Office of Technology to promulgate a legislative rule concerning cyber reporting. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on July 18, 2025, which was modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and subsequently refiled on August 14, 2025. The new legal language inserted into the current law includes the designation of the rule as "163 CSR 03."

The primary purpose of this bill is to formalize the authority of the Office of Technology to implement regulations related to cyber reporting, thereby enhancing the state's ability to manage and respond to cyber-related issues. The bill does not include any deletions from the existing law, focusing solely on the authorization of the new rule.
