This bill amends and reenacts section 64-5-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the distribution of state funds to support local boards of health. Specifically, it references the legislative rule filed in the State Register on July 24, 2025, which is identified as 64 CSR 67. The primary purpose of this bill is to ensure that the Department of Health has the necessary authority to implement regulations that will govern how state funds are allocated to local health boards, thereby enhancing public health support at the local level. The bill does not include any deletions from the current law but introduces new language to facilitate this process.
