Board of Osteopathic Medicine rule relating to licensing procedures for osteopathic physicians

SB 355 authorizes the West Virginia Board of Osteopathic Medicine to implement its established licensing procedures for osteopathic physicians under rule 24 CSR 01. The bill formally approves a legislative rule that was previously developed and modified after review by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee (filed July 2025, refiled December 2025). This procedural bill directly affects osteopathic physicians seeking or maintaining licensure in West Virginia by establishing their required application and certification processes. It does not change the substance of the licensing rules but grants the Board the authority to enforce them. The rule specifically covers procedures for licensing osteopathic physicians within the state.
