Relating to authorizing the State Emergency Response Commission to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the Emergency Planning Grant Program

This bill authorizes West Virginia's State Emergency Response Commission to establish a regulation governing the Emergency Planning Grant Program. The regulation, which was previously filed and modified to address legislative feedback, will set rules for distributing state grants to local governments and emergency agencies for planning and preparedness. It directly affects communities applying for these grants, ensuring standardized criteria for funding eligibility and use. The bill does not change grant amounts or eligibility requirements but formalizes the Commission's authority to manage the program's rules.
