This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to authorize the Attorney General to promulgate a legislative rule concerning the fair treatment of crime victims and witnesses. Specifically, it addresses the existing legislative rule filed in the State Register on June 12, 1985, which is related to this topic.
A significant addition to the law is the introduction of a sunset provision, which states that the rule will terminate and cease to have any effect on August 1, 2036. This provision ensures that the rule will be reviewed and potentially renewed or amended before its expiration date.
