This bill amends the Code of West Virginia to require the Secretary of the Department of Health to propose legislative rules that include alpha-gal syndrome on the list of diseases mandated for reporting to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The new legal language specifies that the Secretary shall propose these rules in accordance with existing provisions, thereby formalizing the requirement for tracking this specific health condition.
Additionally, the bill modifies the Secretary's authority regarding the review of public pool facility repairs or modernization. The language change indicates that the Secretary may not review such activities if they do not alter the facility's scope or current use and if the costs do not exceed $25,000. This adjustment aims to streamline the regulatory process for minor improvements to public pool facilities while ensuring that significant changes still undergo appropriate oversight.
