HB 2257 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Division of Protective Services to promulgate a legislative rule relating to ranks and duties of officers within the membership of the division

HB 2257 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Protective Services to create and implement a legislative rule defining officer ranks and duties within the division. The bill specifically approves an existing proposed rule (99 CSR 02) that was filed in the State Register on August 28, 2024, under existing authority. This is a procedural measure that enables the division to formally establish internal role structures through standard rulemaking, without changing substantive duties or creating new policies. The bill directly affects the division's internal operations and officer classification system.
