Authorizing Department of Commerce to promulgate legislative rules

This bill authorizes several divisions within West Virginia's Department of Commerce to issue legislative rules on specific topics without requiring new legislation for each change. The provisions allow the Division of Economic Development to regulate tourism development districts, the Division of Forestry to set managed timberland certification standards, and the Division of Labor to establish child labor guidelines. Additionally, the Office of Miners' Health, Safety, and Training can approve mine safety programs for coal operations, while the Division of Natural Resources can create rules covering hunting, trapping, wildlife rehabilitation, boating, and related outdoor activities. The Division of Rehabilitation Services is also authorized to issue rules concerning the Ron Yost Personal Assistance Services Act Board. These rules must be filed with the state and may be modified by a review committee before taking effect.
