This bill amends and reenacts section 64-9-1 of the Code of West Virginia, 1931, to authorize the Board of Pharmacy to promulgate a legislative rule concerning pharmacists. The specific rule in question was filed in the State Register on July 24, 2025, and subsequently modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee before being refiled on October 22, 2025.

The primary aim of this legislation is to provide the Board of Pharmacy with the necessary authority to implement regulations that govern the practice of pharmacists in West Virginia, thereby ensuring that the legislative framework is up-to-date and responsive to the needs of the profession. The bill does not include any deletions or additional legal language beyond the authorization of the rule itself.
