Relating to authorizing the Department of Health to promulgate a legislative rule relating to growers and processors of the Medical Cannabis Program
HB 2246 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Health to implement specific rules governing medical cannabis growers and processors. It formally approves a legislative rule (previously filed in the State Register on August 30, 2024) that outlines requirements for these businesses under the Medical Cannabis Program. The bill does not create new policy but enables the Department of Health to enforce existing regulatory standards for cannabis cultivation and processing. This directly affects licensed medical cannabis businesses operating in West Virginia.
