Relating to authorizing the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration to promulgate a legislative rule relating to private clubs.
HB 4236 authorizes West Virginia's Alcohol Beverage Control Administration to adopt a specific rule (175 CSR 02) concerning private clubs, following modifications to address legislative committee feedback. The rule, originally filed in July 2025 and revised in September 2025, governs how private clubs operate under state alcohol regulations. This bill does not change club rules itself but formally approves the existing administrative rule for implementation. It directly affects private clubs operating in West Virginia by clarifying their compliance requirements under state law.
