Relating to authorizing the Department of Agriculture to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the Rural Rehabilitation Program

HB 2290 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to issue a legislative rule for the Rural Rehabilitation Program, which was previously drafted and filed in the State Register on July 29, 2024. This procedural bill does not change the program's substance but formally allows the agency to implement the rule. The rule directly affects rural communities and agricultural interests participating in the program through administrative processes. The bill’s purpose is to enable the Department of Agriculture to adopt the rule as part of its regulatory authority.
