Department of Health rule relating to distribution of state funds for support of local boards of health
This bill authorizes West Virginia's Department of Health to establish a legislative rule governing how state funds are distributed to support local health boards. It specifically formalizes an existing rule (64 CSR 67) that was filed in the State Register on July 24, 2025. The rule will determine the process for allocating state funding to local health boards, directly affecting these community-level health entities. The bill does not create new funding or change existing policies, but rather codifies the Department's authority to manage this distribution process. It is a procedural measure to ensure the rule has legal standing.
