Relating to authorizing the Board of Osteopathic Medicine to promulgate a legislative rule relating to osteopathic physician assistants.

HB 4305 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Osteopathic Medicine to formally adopt a specific legislative rule (24 CSR 02) governing osteopathic physician assistants. This rule, previously filed and modified after review by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee, establishes standards for these healthcare professionals. The bill directly affects osteopathic physician assistants and the Board by legally confirming the rule’s implementation without creating new policy. It is a procedural measure to finalize an existing rule, not a substantive policy change.
