Relating to authorizing the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule relating to vital statistics

HB 2242 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Health to implement a specific legislative rule (64 CSR 32) governing vital statistics, such as birth and death records. The bill formally approves a rule that was previously modified to address objections from the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee and refiled in November 2024. This procedural measure directly affects the Department of Health by granting it the authority to administer this rule, which impacts how vital records are managed across the state. The bill does not create new policies but enables the department to use an existing rulemaking framework.
