Relating to authorizing the Division of Natural Resources to promulgate a legislative rule relating to public use of campgrounds in West Virginia State Parks and State Forests and campsites in State Rail Trails
HB 2335 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Natural Resources to implement and enforce specific rules for public use of campgrounds in state parks and forests, as well as campsites along state rail trails. The bill formally approves an existing regulatory rule (58 CSR 32) that was revised after committee feedback, eliminating the need for new legislation each time adjustments are made. This directly affects campers, park visitors, and trail users who will follow these standardized rules for reservation systems, fees, and facility access. The bill streamlines management by allowing the Division to update rules without additional legislative action, ensuring consistent public access policies across state recreational areas.
