HB 2232 West Virginia House of Delegates · 2025 Regular Session

Relating to authorizing the Department of Environmental Protection to promulgate a legislative rule relating to ambient air quality standards

HB 2232 authorizes West Virginia's Department of Environmental Protection to formally adopt a proposed rule (45 CSR 08) establishing ambient air quality standards. The rule would set requirements for monitoring and limiting air pollution from sources like industrial facilities. This bill does not change the pollution limits themselves but grants the department authority to implement the existing proposed rule. It directly affects businesses and industries subject to air quality regulations in the state.
