Relating to authorizing the Board of Chiropractic Examiners to promulgate a legislative rule relating to consideration of prior criminal convictions in initial licensure determinations

HB 2299 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Chiropractic Examiners to implement a specific rule regarding how prior criminal convictions are evaluated during initial chiropractic licensure applications. The bill formally approves a legislative rule (previously filed in the State Register on October 18, 2024) that addresses the board's consideration of criminal history in licensing decisions. This procedural bill does not change the substance of the rule but provides legal authority for the board to use it, directly affecting individuals seeking chiropractic licensure with prior criminal records.
