Relating to authorizing the Board of Landscape Architects to promulgate a legislative rule application for waiver of initial licensing fees for certain individuals.

HB 4291 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Landscape Architects to create a rule allowing certain individuals to apply for a waiver of initial licensing fees. This bill directly affects new landscape architecture license applicants who may qualify for fee relief under the proposed rule. The key mechanism is enabling the Board to establish specific criteria and application procedures for these fee waivers through a formal legislative rule. The bill itself does not set the waiver criteria but provides the legal authority for the Board to develop them. (This is a procedural bill; no new fees or policies are created by the bill itself.)
