Relating to authorizing the Board of Architects to promulgate a legislative rule relating to fees for registration of architects.
HB 4274 authorizes West Virginia's Board of Architects to implement a specific fee structure for architect registration. The bill formally approves a previously modified rule (2 CSR 03) that the Board had developed, which outlines registration fees for architects seeking to practice in the state. This rule, adjusted to address legislative committee feedback, directly affects licensed architects and those applying for registration by setting their required fees. The bill does not establish new fees but authorizes the Board to enforce the existing fee schedule through official rulemaking.
