To require the Bureau for Social Services to file is Social Services Manual as a legislative rule

HB 3380 requires West Virginia's Bureau for Social Services to formally file the Social Services Manual as an official legislative rule, rather than updating it through internal agency procedures. This applies specifically to the manual's foster care procedures and other social services guidelines, which have been revised outside the standard rulemaking process since 1986. The bill mandates that all future updates to this manual must follow the state's formal legislative rulemaking procedures. This change aims to ensure transparency and accountability in how social services policies are established and modified. The bill does not alter the content of the manual itself, only the process for its official adoption and revision.
