Department of Agriculture rule relating to public markets
SB 314 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to implement a specific rule for public markets, identified as 61 CSR 11, which was previously drafted and revised to address legislative objections. This rule would establish operational standards for public markets, directly affecting vendors, market operators, and local food businesses that use these venues. The bill is procedural, formally approving the rule's adoption without altering its content, and follows the Department's modifications to meet the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee's concerns.
