HB 4285 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2026 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Contractor Licensing Board to promulgate a legislative rule relating to West Virginia Contractor Licensing Act.

HB 4285 authorizes the West Virginia Contractor Licensing Board to formally adopt and implement a specific regulatory rule (28 CSR 02) related to the state's Contractor Licensing Act. This procedural bill does not change licensing requirements but grants official approval for a rule the Board had already proposed and filed in the State Register on July 25, 2025. It directly affects licensed contractors and the Board's administrative process for enforcing licensing standards. The bill simply authorizes the Board to move forward with the rule they had previously submitted.
