Relating to authorizing the Division of Forestry to promulgate a legislative rule relating to rules for the certification of managed timberland.

HB 4324 authorizes West Virginia's Division of Forestry to establish rules for certifying managed timberland under existing regulations (22 CSR 06). The bill directly affects timberland operators who seek certification for sustainable forest management practices. It formalizes the Division's authority to promulgate these certification rules, which were previously modified and refiled after addressing legislative committee feedback. The change streamlines the certification process without creating new obligations for landowners.
