Relating to authorizing the Fire Commission to promulgate a legislative rule relating to the fire code.
HB 4231 authorizes West Virginia's Fire Commission to adopt a specific fire safety rule (87 CSR 01) that was previously modified to address legislative feedback. This rule establishes fire safety standards for buildings and businesses across the state. The bill does not change the fire code content but formally grants the Fire Commission authority to implement the rule. It directly affects the Fire Commission's regulatory process and entities required to comply with fire safety regulations.
