Relating to authorizing the Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the schedule of fines
HB 2298 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Barbers and Cosmetologists to establish a schedule of fines for regulatory violations through a formal rulemaking process. The bill specifically approves a previously modified rule (3 CSR 07) that was refiled after addressing concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee. This procedural measure enables the board to set specific fine amounts for violations of cosmetology and barbering regulations, directly affecting licensed professionals in these fields who may face penalties. The bill does not change existing fine amounts but formalizes the board's authority to define them via administrative rule.
