This bill aims to amend and reenact section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to grant the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists the authority to promulgate a legislative rule concerning barber apprenticeship. The specific legislative rule in question was initially filed in the State Register on July 28, 2025, and subsequently modified to address the concerns of the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on September 23, 2025.

The bill serves to formalize the authorization of this rule, which is identified as relating to barber apprenticeship under the designation 3 CSR 13. As this section is newly introduced, there are no deletions or existing legal language being altered. The overall intent is to enhance the regulatory framework governing barber apprenticeships in West Virginia.
